A boy walks away from a plane mirror at a speed of 3 ms-1 in a direction normal to the surface of the mirror. At what speed is his image approaching him?

A.

89.0ms-1

B.

6.0ms-1

C.

4.5ms-1

D.

Velocity of image w.r.t boy = velocity of object - velocity of image

velocity w.r.t to boy = v - (-v)

=3.0 - (-3.0)

The image velocity is 6 m/s towards the boy.
