Answer:
Maximum distance of image from mirror is equal to focal length of the mirror
Explanation:
As we know by the equation of mirror we have

here we know for convex mirror
object position is always negative as it will be placed behind the mirror always
while the focal length of the convex mirror is always taken positive
So here we have


so here maximum value of image distance is equal to focal length of the mirror
<span>The formulas are,
v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1)
h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2)
Given that,
v1 = 1.71 m/s
we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor
d2 =0.805d1
then,
v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)²
cancelled both side d1² then we get,
v1 = v2 (0.805)²
v1 = v2 (0.648025)
Sub v1 = 1.71,
1.71 = v2 (0.648025)
v2 = 1.71/0.648025
v2 = 2.638787083831642
v2 = 2.64 m/s
The vertical distance formula,
h = (v2²-v1²)/2g
We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s²
h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8)
h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6
h = (4.0455)/19.6
h = 0.2064030612244898
h = 0.21 cm
Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>
