JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments
The driver sitting inside a parked car is watching vehicles approaching from behind with the help of his side view mirror, which is a convex mirror with radius of curvature \(\mathrm{R}=2 \mathrm{~m}\). Another car approaches him from behind with a uniform speed of \(90 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}\). When the car is at a distance of 24 m from him, the magnitude of the acceleration of the image of the car in the side view mirror is ' a '. The value of 100 a is _______ \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2\).
- A 10
- B 8
- C 12
- D 14
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 8
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{uf}}{\mathrm{u}-\mathrm{f}}=\frac{-24 \cdot 1}{-24-1}=\frac{24}{25} \\ & \mathrm{~m}=\frac{-\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}}=-\frac{24}{25(-24)}=\frac{1}{25} \\ & \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}} \\ &…
