Detailed Solution

Substituting the values,

u=-30cm and f=-20cm

in the mirror formula, we have 

1v+1-30=1-20

solving this equation, we get v=-60cm.

Further, m=-vu=--60-30=-2 and m2=4

Object velocity along the axis is 5cos37° = 4 mm/s (towards OP). Therefore, image velocity along the axis should be m2 times or 16 mm/s in the opposite direction of object velocity. Object velocity perpendicular to axis is 5sin37° = 3 mm/s (upwards). Therefore, image velocity will be m times or -6 mm/s downwards. The position and velocity of image is shown below.
