Nothing happens to the mirror.
However, if the ray is within some suitable range of
wavelengths, the ray is reflected from the mirror's surface.
Although the semi truck certainly has a larger mass, it is not in motion and therefore does not have any momentum. The bicycle however has both mass and velocity and therefore has the larger momentum of the pair.

So this involves right triangles. The height is always 100. Let the horizontal be x and the length of string be z.
So we have x2 + 1002 = z2. Now take its derivative in terms of time to get
2x(dx/dt) = 2z(dz/dt)
So at your specific moment z = 200, x = 100âš3 and dx/dt = +8
substituting, that makes dz/dt = 800âš3 / 200 or 4âš3.
Part 2
sin a = 100/z = 100 z-1 . Now take the derivative in terms of t to get
cos a (da./dt) = -100/ z2 (dz/dt)
So we know z = 200, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle, therefore a=30 degrees or π/6 radians.
Substitute to get
cos (Ď€/6)(da/dt) = (-100/ 40000)(4âš3)
âš3 / 2 (da/dt) = -âš3 / 100
da/dt = -1/50 radians</span>
The power of a machine is the work/time ratio for that particular machine
Its the rate of doing work.
