Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is given by
[tex]p=mv[/tex]
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
In this problem we are comparing an elephant with a golf ball. We know that the mass of the elephant is much larger than the mass of the golf ball:
[tex]m_e >> m_b[/tex]
Since we want the two momenta to be equal
[tex]p_e = p_b\\m_e v_e = m_b v_b[/tex]
We find
[tex]v_b = \frac{m_e}{m_b}v_e[/tex]
So, this means that the velocity of the ball must be much larger than the velocity of the elephant.
