Both the size and the shape of the tree changes
The total momentum of the system has to be conserved to satisfy the principle of conservation of momentum. Before the ball hits the bottle, the momentum of the system is 0.4 x 18 = 7.2 kg m/s
The momentum of the bottle after being hit is 0.2 x 25 = 5 kg m/s
So the momentum of the ball now is 7.2 - 5 = 2.2 kg m/s
Hence its velocity is 2.2/0.4 = 5.5 m/s
Metals are not brittle so it can’t be the first one or the third one, both metalloids and metals are shiny so it can’t be the second one. Therefore, it would be the last one because both metalloids and metals are shiny and both are solids at room temperature because it is not a high enough melting point.
ANSWER: Both are shiny and are solid at room temperature.
