momentum, p=mv, is directly proportional to the mass and velocity. This means that as the mass increases, the momentum increases as well. However, if you increase the velocity of the object, you will also increase the momentum of the object. So I think it is possible for a golf ball to have the same momentum as an elephant given that you increase the velocity of the golf ball.
I think it is possible Momentum = Mass * Velocity Golf Ball would need large velocity to make up for its small mass Elephant would need very low velocity to make up for its very large mass
If both have a velocity of zero, their momentum would be the same.
