If you are running towards a mirror at 5m/sec, at what speed is your reflection moving towards you?

Danger said:the image itself does not actually move forward or backward.

Running towards a mirror does not affect the relative velocity of the image. The relative velocity of the image is solely dependent on the speed of light and the distance between the object and the mirror.
No, the speed of the person running towards the mirror does not affect the relative velocity of the image. The relative velocity of the image is determined by the speed of light, which is constant in all frames of reference.
No, the relative velocity of the image is the same whether the person is running towards or away from the mirror. This is because the speed of light is constant and the distance between the person and the mirror remains the same.
The angle of the mirror does not affect the relative velocity of the image. As long as the distance between the object and the mirror remains the same, the relative velocity of the image will not change.
No, the relative velocity of the image cannot be greater than the speed of light. According to the theory of relativity, the speed of light is the maximum speed at which anything can travel.
