Question

A plane mirror is lying in $$xy-plane$$ with its reflecting surface facing positive $$z-axis$$. A particle is moving towards the reflecting surface of the mirror with velocity $$2i^$$−$$2j^$$−$$3k^m/s$$. If the mirror starts moving with velocity $$2k^$$ $$m/s$$, velocity of the image of the particle relative to the mirror is

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Velocity of the particle relative to the mirror is given by, V→$$P/M=V$$→P−V→$$M=2i^$$−$$2j^$$−$$5k^m/sTherefore$$ velocity of the image relative to the mirror is, V→$$i/M=2i^$$−$$2j^+5k^m/s$$.
