The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.
weight of man = 75kg
speed of elevator, a = 1.5
So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.
Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction. Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.

A) -2.0 m
Look at the ray diagram attached in the picture, where:
p identifies the location of the object
q identifies the location of the image
F identifies the focus of the mirror
Each tick represents 1 m
We have
p = 6.0 m is the distance of the object from the mirror
f = -3.0 m is the focal length
From the ray diagram, we see that q has a distance of 2.0 m from the mirror, and it's on the other side of the mirror compared to the object, so
q = -2.0 m
This can also be verified by using the mirror equation:
B) Upright and virtual
As we see from the picture, the image is upright, since it has same orientation as the object.
Also, we notice that the image is on the other side of the mirror, compared to the object. For a mirror,
- An image is said to be real if it is on the same side of the object
- An image is said to be virtual if it is on the opposite side of the mirror
Therefore, this means that the image is virtual.
