A car is moving with at a constant speed of 60 kmh−160 \,{kmh}^{-1} on a straight road. Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at distance of 100 m100 {~m} and is approaching with a speed of 5 km h−15 {~km} {~h}^{-1}. In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glance alternatively at the rear and side mirror of his car after every 2 s2 {~s} till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement (s) is/are correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
In the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases.
The correct answer is that in the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases. This is due to the changing relative position and perspective as the cars get closer.
