Spherical/Curved mirrors

Question

A plane mirror is rotating about ‘O’ with constant angular velocity 4 rad/sec in anticlockwise direction. A point ‘P’ is moving in a circle of radius 50 cm with constant speed 3 m/s in anticlockwise direction about point O. At a given instant as shown in figure, the angular velocity of image is
(in rad/s) is
 

Moderate
Solution

Considering the tangential components of velocities, vIM=-vOM

vI=2vM-vO

ωimage=2ωmirrorVobjectR

ωimage=24-30.5=2 rad/s

A linear object AB is placed along the axis of a concave mirror. The object is moving towards the mirror with speed U. The speed of the image of the point A is 4U and the speed of the image of B is also 4U but in opposite direction. If the centre of the line AB is at a distanc e L from the mirror then find out the length of the object.
