Question

A man runs towards the plane mirror at 2m/s. The relative speed of his image with respect to him will be?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer Expert Verified

Thus, if you will move towards the mirror with a velocity of 2 m/s , the mirror image will move towards to you with velocity of 2 m/s only. Thus, your speed towards mirror + mirror image speed towards you is 4 m/s, 2+2 = 4 m/s.......

Answer 2

Given:

Speed of the man=2m/s

To find:

The relative speed of his image with respect to him

Solution:

We can find the solution by following the given steps-

We know that the relative speed is the sum of speeds of when two people are running in opposite directions.

Here, the man and his image are running towards each other at the same speed and covering the same distance.

So, the relative speed of the man's image will be the sum of the speeds of man and his image.

The relative speed= 2+2

= 4m/s

Therefore, the relative speed of his image with respect to him is 4m/s.
