You shoot your enemy's reflection in the mirror while playing paintball. The y axis is perpendicular to the mirror. The mirror has a mass of 1kg and the paintball has a mass of 0.05 kg. The paintball hits the mirror at a speed of 8 m/s at an angle of 25 degrees from the normal. The mirror is pushed backward upon the impact remaining facing the same direction it was before. Assuming that the collision was perfectly elastic, find the final velocity of the paintball. Does it hit your enemy?
