Question

Which object has more momentum?

1. Caterpillar resting on a leaf?
2. Sleeping bear?
3. Llarge butterfly in flight, flying through the air?
4. Ant walking in line?

Answer 1

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

Momentum = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0
