A 500 kilogram marlin and a 20 kilogram salmon are swimming at the same velocity. How does the momentum of the two fish compare? A. The marlin has more momentum. B. The salmon has more momentum. C. Both have the same momentum. D. Both have no momentum.

A. The marlin has more momentum.

Explanation:

When you multiply an object's mass and its velocity we get its momentum. It is also called linear momentum.

p = m * v

As velocity of both the fish are same then let it be v

Momentum of 500 kilogram marlin

p₁ = 500v kg m/s²

Momentum of 20 kilogram salmon

p₂ = 20v kg m/s²

It can be seen that p₁>p₂.

So, the 500 kilogram marlin has more momentum.

i think its A im not sure though
