An object approaches a convergent lens from the left of the lens with a uniform speed 5 m/s and stops at the focus. The image moves away from the lens with a non-uniform acceleration. Explanation: In our problem the object approaches a convergent lens from the left of the lens with a uniform speed of 5 m/s, hence the image will move away from the lens with a non-uniform acceleration, the image moves slower in the beginning and faster later on will move from F to 2F and when the object moves from 2F to F, the image will move from 2F to infinity. At 2F, the speed of the object and image will be equal.
