Problem

A jogger runs directly towards a large vertical plane mirror at a constant speed of 3 m s−13\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}. Initially, he is 20 m20\,\text{m} away from the mirror. (i) Determine the speed of the jogger’s image with respect to the mirror. (ii) Calculate the speed of the image relative to the jogger. (iii) Find the separation between the jogger and his image after 4 s4\,\text{s} of running.
