Is there ever a situation where an ant will have more momentum than an elephant? Explain why or why not? Question 2 options: No, an ant can't move fast enough. Yes, if the elephant is standing still. No, an elephant has too much mass. Yes, if the ant is standing still.

Vocaloid:

any ideas? remember that momentum is based on both mass and velocity

bammbiii5:

Hello; If the ant is moving even a little and the elephant is standing still. Than yes the ant will have more momentum because as we have learned before; or as I said in the last question. momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. So, the correct choice is: Yes, if the elephant is standing still.

hallm:

well i was going to say it was the elephant because he is heavier then the ant
