Given: Speed of the man (v) = 6 m/s Distance Calculation: Distance to the Mirror: As the man moves toward the mirror, the distance between him and the mirror decreases by 6 m/s. Distance to the Image: The image moves toward the man at the same speed (6 m/s). Total Change in Distance: The total distance between the man and his image decreases at the rate of: Rate of distance change = v + v = 6 m/s + 6 m/s = 12 m/s Conclusion: The distance between the man and his image increases at a speed of 12 meters per second.
