Question
If an object moves towards a plane mirror with a speed v at an angle 
to the perpendicular to the plane of the mirror, find the relative velocity between the object and the image
- v
- 2v
The correct answer is:
From figure it is clear that relative velocity between object and it's image = 2v cosq
