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 _______ \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2\).

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}} \\
& \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{I}}=-\mathrm{m}^2 \cdot \mathrm{v}_0=\frac{-1}{(25)^2} \cdot 25=\frac{-1}{25}
