Q11 / 16 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Mathematics in Physics

A point object is moving with velocity v 0 = 2 i ^ - 3 j ^ + 4 k ^ in front of a moving plane mirror whose normal is along x - axis. The mirror is moving with velocity v m = i ^ - 4 j ^ + 2 k ^ . Find the velocity vector of image.

  • A
    - 5  j ^
  • Correct answer
    B
    - 3  j ^ + 4  k ^
  • C
    - 4  j ^ + 2  k ^
  • D
    2  i ^ - 3  j ^ + 2  k ^

Solution

Let velocity of image vi=x i^+y j^+z k^

Along the normal, i.e., along x-axis.

                   v im = - v om

⇒         x - 1 = - 2 - 1

⇒            x = 0

Along y and z - axes  v i = v 0

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
