Answer:

a) v=1.81 m/s; B) v=4.95 m/s

Explanation:

using momentum conservation

m1v1+m2v1=m1v2+m2v2

A)

5.2*672+700*0=5.2*428+700v2

The initial velocity of the block is 0, solving for v2

v2=1.81 m/s

B) Now both the bullet and the block travel together

m1v1+m2v1=(m1+m2)v2

5.2*672+700*0=(5.2+700)v

v=4.95 m/s

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hey there!

Biotic factors are living organisms. This includes plants, animals, and bacteria. Climate, water, and natural disasters are abiotic factors, which means they are nonliving factors that affect the environment. Disease is caused by bacteria, which is a biotic factor.

Therefore, your answer is B) Disease.

Hope this helps!
