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.

An elephant can have the same momentum as a golf ball if it is moving much slower than the golf ball. Momentum depends on both mass and velocity, so even though an elephant is much more massive than a golf ball, if the golf ball is moving fast enough, it can have the same momentum as a slow-moving elephant.

∙ 12y agoIf 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.

∙ 12y agoIts 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.

∙ 14y agoIf 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.

thus a slow elephant could have the same momentum as a fast golf ball.

Which has more momentum a mouse running at 1 meters per second north or an elephant walking at 3 meters per second east?
The elephant walking at 3 meters per second east has more momentum because momentum is defined as mass multiplied by velocity, and the elephant has much more mass than the mouse. The higher velocity of the elephant further contributes to its greater momentum compared to the mouse.
Is impulse the same as momentum true or false?
False. Impulse and momentum are related concepts but not the same. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, while impulse is the change in momentum experienced by an object when a force is applied to it over a period of time.
A baseball flies through an open window and collides with a vase The momentum of the ball and vase after the collision is?
The momentum of the baseball and the vase after the collision is the same as it was before the collision, as long as there are no external forces acting on them. This is because momentum is conserved in the absence of external forces.
When an action and reaction occur momentum is usually lost?
No. Total momentum before and after the collision is the same. Some kinetic energy can be lost - but not momentum.
What does not have the same units as the others Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy or Work?
Momentum does not have the same units as the others. Kinetic energy is measured in joules, potential energy in joules, work in joules, but momentum is measured in kilogram meters per second (kg m/s).
Can an elephant have the same momentum has a golf ball?
No, an elephant cannot have the same momentum as a golf ball. Momentum is dependent on mass and velocity, so even if an elephant and a golf ball were moving at the same speed, the elephant's much larger mass would result in a significantly greater momentum.
What weighs the same as a golfball?
Another golfball!
Could elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball?

Could an elephant have the same momentum as an golf ball?
yes
Can an elephant have the same momentum as a golf Ball?
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.
What has more momentum an elephant walking or a bullet?
The elephant
Which has more momentum a mouse running at 1 meters per second north or an elephant walking at 3 meters per second east?
The elephant walking at 3 meters per second east has more momentum because momentum is defined as mass multiplied by velocity, and the elephant has much more mass than the mouse. The higher velocity of the elephant further contributes to its greater momentum compared to the mouse.
What are the release dates for Real Momentum - 2005 The Elephant in the Room?
Real Momentum - 2005 The Elephant in the Room was released on: USA: 4 June 2006
Which has more momentum a mouse running at 1ms north or an elephant walkingat 3 ms east?
The elephant walking at 3 m/s east has more momentum since momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity, and the elephant has a significantly higher mass compared to the mouse.
What is the density of a golfball?
The density of golfball is less then density of water
Could an elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball why or why not?
Well, that depends on how fast the golf-ball is going, if it's going 30 mph, yes is can, If faster no.
An elephant and a mouse would both have zero weight in gravity-free space If they were moving toward you with the same speed would they bump into you with the same effect Explain?
Yes, they would. In gravity-free space, weight does not affect momentum or collision impact. Both the elephant and the mouse would bump into you with the same effect because their momentum is determined by their velocity and mass, not their weight.
