Waves bounce back when they meet a surface. This phenomenon is called...

A reflection

Explanation:

Reflection – when a wave hits a surface, any part of the wave that cannot pass through the surface bounces back. This interaction with a surface is called reflection.

Another way to explain it is

Reflection occurs when waves bounce back from a surface they cannot pass through.

acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (20-120)= -100 m/s.

1.5 min = 90 sec

acceleration = -100/90 = -1.11 m/s^2.

we don't care about the 150kg or the 2,500 meters. they don't make any difference.
