Problem
A thief is running away in a car with velocity 20ms−1. A police jeep is following him. The thief sees the jeep in his rear-view convex mirror of focal length 10m. He observes that the image of the jeep is moving towards him with velocity 1cms−1. If the magnification of the mirror for the jeep at that time is 101, find, assuming the police jeep is on the axis of the mirror:
(1) The actual speed of the jeep.
(2) The rate at which the magnification is changing.
