(a) we can solve the problem by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}
where 
f is the focal length of the mirror
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror.

For the sign convention, f is taken as negative for a convex mirror and d_i is taken as negative if the image is located behind the mirror, as in this problem. So we have 
f=-15.8 cm
d_i=-12.2 cm
and re-arranging the mirror equation we can find the distance of the object from the mirror:
\frac{1}{d_o}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{d_i}= \frac{1}{-15.8 cm} - \frac{1}{-12.2 cm}
from which we find
d_o=53.5 cm

(b) The magnitude is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the object, which is also equal to the negative of the ratio between the distance of the image and the distance of the object from the mirror:
M= \frac{h_i}{h_o} =- \frac{d_i}{d_o}
Using what we found at point (a), the magnification in this problem is
M=- \frac{-12.2 cm}{53.5 cm}=0.23
where the positive sign means the image is upright.

The sun’s___and the planet’s___keeps planets moving is___orbits.
Sauron [17]

The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.
