Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Below are the choices that can be found from other sources:

A. The marlin has more momentum.

B. The salmon has more momentum. 

C. Both have the same momentum. 

D. Both have no momentum.

Velocity is speed. Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. Because the Marlin has a much greater mass that means that it's momentum would also be greater.

Lets look at this. momentum = mass x velocity 

lets say that velocity for both fish is at 2 meters per second 
Marlin : momentum = 500 x 2 = 1000 
Salmon : momentum = 20 x 2 = 40 

Therefore the answer is A

The equation T^2=A^3 shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, A

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

D. 2^(3/2)

Explanation:

Given that

T² = A³

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet Y be x

Therefore,

T(Y)² = x³

T(Y) = x^(3/2)

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet X be x/2

Therefore,

T(Y)² = (x/2)³

T(Y) = (x/2)^(3/2)

The factor of increase from planet X to planet Y is:

T(Y) / T(X) = x^(3/2) / (x/2)^(3/2)

T(Y) / T(X) = (2)^(3/2)

The energy of a photon of light is __________ proportional to its frequency and __________ proportional to its wavelength.

icang [17]

Answer:

D) directly, inversely

Explanation:

The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.

Frequency is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time.

Wavelength is the is the distance between successive crests or troughs on a wave.

Mathematically, frequency is related to wavelength and velocity using;

Energy = h x f

where h is the Planck's constant

f is the frequency

Since c = f ∧

where f is the frequency of the wave

∧ is the wavelength of the wave

c is the speed of light

So;

f = c/∧

Therefore;

E = $\frac{h c}{wavelength}$

From the equation, we see an inverse relationship between E and wavelength and a direct one with frequency.
