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.
If the elephant were moving, then the golf ball could still have the same momentum if it were moving fast enough, since a small mass times a large velocity can be the same as a large mass at a much lower velocity........... So yes, it is possible an elephant could have the same momentum as a golf ball if the golf ball travelled very fast.
Its unlikely. Momentum is mass times velocity. Event though a golf ball has much more velocity than an elephant, the elephant has much, much more mass than a golf ball, so it would seem that the momentum of an elephant is greater than than of a golf ball.
If the golfball is going extremely fast, it can work up a huge momentum. For example, it would probably rather be hit by a ball going very slowly than one that was fast-pitched by a major-league Baseball player, because the slower one would not hurt as much. So if the elephant was walking very slowly and the golfball was shot out of an air-soft gun, the golfball would have more momentum.
Momentum is mass times velocity;
thus a slow elephant could have the same momentum as a fast golf ball.
The elephant would have more momentum because of it has a greater mass and is going faster. The direction really doesn't matter
Impulse is a change of momentum (delta p).
momentum
No. Total momentum before and after the collision is the same. Some kinetic energy can be lost - but not momentum.
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.

Another golfball!
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.
yes
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.
The elephant
Real Momentum - 2005 The Elephant in the Room was released on: USA: 4 June 2006
The elephant would have more momentum because of it has a greater mass and is going faster. The direction really doesn't matter
The density of golfball is less then density of water
Well, that depends on how fast the golf-ball is going, if it's going 30 mph, yes is can, If faster no.
Momentum is the product of mass x velocity, so if this product is the same for both, they will have the same momentum.
Yes
