Is there ever a situation where an ant will have more momentum than an elephant? explain why or why not? yes, if the elephant is standing still. no, an elephant has too much mass. no, an ant can't move fast enough. yes, if the ant is standing still. the change in momentum of an object is equal to the change in velocity of the object. force acting on it times its velocity. impulse acting on it.

1. Yes, if the elephant is standing still.

2. impulse acting on it.

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. A change in momentum occurs when any of the quantities change. A change in momentum is equal to impulse acting on it. A change in momentum per unite time generates force.

P = m v

ΔP = Δm v  or mΔv

F = ΔP /Δt

Impulse, F Δt = ΔP.

An ant has negligible mass in comparison to an elephant. Thus, an ant can have more momentum only when the elephant is standing still. Then, the momentum of the elephant would be zero as it would have zero velocity. and a moving ant would have more Momentum.

The change in momentum of an object is impulse acting on it.

Impulse, F Δt = ΔP.

the correct choice is a .
