  • question_answer
    A car is fitted with a convex side-view mirror of focal length 20 cm. A second car \[2.5\] m behind the first car is overtaking the first car at a relative speed of 15 m/s. The speed of the image of the second car as seen in the mirror of the first one is   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2011

    A) 15 m/s                     

    B) \[\frac{1}{10}m/s\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{15}m/s\]                            

    D) 10 m/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                              For mirror \[\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\] \[\frac{-1}{{{v}^{2}}}\frac{dv}{dt}-\frac{1}{{{u}^{2}}}\frac{du}{dt}=0\] \[\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{-{{v}^{2}}}{{{u}^{2}}}\frac{du}{dt}={{\left( \frac{f}{f-u} \right)}^{2}}\frac{du}{dt}\]                    \[=-{{\left( \frac{20}{20+280} \right)}^{2}}\frac{du}{dt}\]                    \[={{\left( \frac{1}{15} \right)}^{2}}\frac{du}{dt}=\frac{1}{15}m/s\]
