Is there ever a situation where an ant will have more momentum than an elephant? explain why or why not?

a)
no, an elephant has too much mass.

b)
yes, if the ant is standing still.

c)
no, an ant cannot move fast enough.

d)
yes, if the elephant is standing still.

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of the mass and the velocity.

To have more momentum, there should be both mass and the velocity.

If the object has more mass as compared to the object having lighter mass and the heavier mass object is standing still and lighter one is moving then the lighter object will have more momentum.

In the given problem, if the elephant is still standing but an ant is moving then  an ant will have more momentum than an elephant.

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
