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. 

<span>B. The salmon has more momentum. </span>

<span>C. Both have the same momentum. </span>

<span>D. Both have no momentum.
</span>
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. 

<span>Lets look at this. momentum = mass x velocity </span>

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

<span>Therefore the answer is A</span>

What is the potential energy of a 150 kg diver standing on a diving board that is 10 m high?
igomit [66]

Answer:

<h2>15,000 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 150 × 10 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>15,000 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

An RC circuit takes t = 2.5 ms to charge to 35% of its full charge after it weas connected to a battery, What is the total time
marin [14]

Answer: time taken to charge to 95%

t = -5.80[ln(1-0.95)]

t = 17.38ms

Explanation:

For an RC Charging circuit

Where Vs

Vc = Vs (1 - e^(-t/RC))

Vc/Vs = 1 - e^(-t/RC)

-t/RC = ln(1 - Vc/Vs)

t = -RC[ln(1 - Vc/Vs)] and RC = k = -t/ln(1 - Vc/Vs)

Where ;

Vc = voltage across the capacitor

Vs = voltage supply

t = charging time = 2.5ms

k = RC = time constant.

Vc/Vs = 0.35

To calculate the time constant k;

k = -t/ln(1- Vc/Vs)

k = -2.5/ln(1-0.35)

k = 5.80ms

time taken to charge to 95%

t = -5.80[ln(1-0.95)]

t = 17.38ms

describe how you can use a compass needle to determine the direction of a magnetic field at a given location
Solnce55 [7]

The compass doesn’t give you the value of the net magnetic field, just the direction. So, how do you get the magnitude of a particular field from this? The trick is to assume the value of the Earth’s magnetic field and the direction of the compass. Let’s assume that at this location on the Earth, the magnetic field is pointing directly North with a horizontal component of about 2 x 10-5 T.

Now suppose that I do something to create a magnetic field in a known direction and perpendicular to the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field. Here is an example where I put a current carrying wire right over the compass needle. Since the compass is underneath the wire, the magnetic field due to the wire will be 90° to the Earth’s magnetic field.
