Vertical Ground Radials Vertical Plane Mirror And Speed Of Image Relative To Ground?

Vertical plane mirror and speed of image relative to ground? - vertical ground radials

A student who is a mirror plane perpendicular to 6 m / s, while the mirror is mounted on wheels, about 1 m / s. The speed at which the image moves relative to the ground

8 m / s
7 m / s
13 m / s
5 m / s
14 m / s

This question seems so simple, but somehow rationalize. Any help on this?

The answer is: 8 m / s.

You should consider the problem in the mirror. The student went to the mirror at a speed of 6 +1 = 7 m / s, and the same image as the speed of 7 m / s in the opposite direction. Thus, the pace of the image in the frame of reference would be Earth-7ms +-1m / s = 8 m / s, and the velocity is 8 m / s.
