In kynematics you describe the motion of particles using vectors and their change in time. You define a position vector r for a particle, and then define velocity v and acceleration a as
In dynamics Newton's laws predict the acceleration for a given force. Knowing the acceleration, and the kynematical relations defines above, you can solve for the position as a function of time: r(t)
Answer: the image distance is -18, 28 cm this means behind of the concave mirror. The image size is 2.2 higher that the original so it has 8.8 cm with the same orientation as original and it is a virtual imagen.
Explanation: In order to sove the imagen formation for a concave mirror we have to use the following equation:
1/p+1/q=1/f where p and q represents the distance to the mirror for the object and imagen, respectively. f is the focal length for the concave mirror.
replacing the values we obtain:
1/8.3+1/q=1/15.2
so 1/q=(1/15.2)-(1/8.3)=-54.7*10^-3
then q=-18.28 cm
The magnification is given by M=-q/p=-(-18,28)/8.3= 2.2
We also add a picture to see the imagen formation for this case.
