Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Since a Golf ball has a much lower mass than an elephant, it would have to have a much higher velocity to achieve the same momentum as an elephant. But it is definitely possible.
Yes, but the golf ball would have to make up for its lack of mass in comparison with a very high acceleration and speed.
A bowling ball has more momentum. You cannot throw it as fast, but a tenpin ball weighs 16 pounds and a baseball only 1/3 pound. Momentum is mass times velocity and if you throw the bowling ball at 10 mph but the baseball at 90 mph the bowling ball still has much more momentum.
If both balls are moving at the same speed (velocity), the heavier (more massive) will have the greater momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. With identical velocities, the more massive object will have the greater momentum. If a 34 kg ball and a 35 kg ball are both moving at 8 m/s as asked, then the 34 kg ball will have less momentum than the 35 kg ball.
Yes. In the game of pool you do it to make your plays happen. When the que ball strikes another ball it imparts some to all of its energy onto the ball it hit. That ball travels off and the que ball can either finish rolling or having lost all its' forward momentum, stop.
Consevation of momentum applies. The final compond mass must have the same momentum as the net momentum of the two balls before the collision. Remember, momentum is a vector and direction is important. For example if the two balls are moving toward each other with the same momentum, the net momentum is zero because they are moving in opposite directions. So the compound ball will not move. Or, if ball 1 is moving left and has a greater momentum then ball 2 ,moving right, then the compound ball will move left. Its momentum will equal the difference between the two momentums because when you add two vectors in opposite directions you subtract their magnitudes. Mechanical energy (potential + kinetic) is not conserved in this collision because some mechanical energy is lost as heat in the collision.
Golf ball, ping pong ball
this question has the theoritical answer but it is not yet practically done. according to the theortical answer """"""""yes! elephant have the same momentum as a Golf ball<<<<<<<<< Actually, elephants can have the same momentum as a golf ball. the equation for momentum is m x v2. m is mass, v is speed, and the two represents "speed squared". If the golf ball has a huge speed, then yes, it can have the same momentum as the elephant.
yes
Momentum, in classical terms, is defined as mass x velocity. So, theoretically, an elephant could have the same momentum as a golf ball if the golf ball (small mass) is moving very, very fast, and the elephant (large mass) is moving very, very slowly. If the product of the mass x velocity is the same, then the momentum can be the same.

Well, that depends on how fast the golf-ball is going, if it's going 30 mph, yes is can, If faster no.
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
It works the same way it does on Earth. The momentum of the club is transferred to the golf ball and it travels. And it isn't slowed down by the friction of air.

A baseball flies through an open window and collides with a vase. The momentum of the ball and vase after the collision is the same as the momentum of the ball alone before the collision.
No, they are the same ball.
Momentum is a constant. The momentum before and after an interaction is the same. E,g. a pool ball with momentum P=mV, the momentum after hitting a second ball is the same mv11 +m2v21 = m1v12 + m2v22 . If v21 is zero the momentum balance is still the same on both sides of the equality., teh momentum is constant..
Momentum is mass x velocity, so it would also depend on each ball's velocity.
