Final answer:
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so a lighter object can have the same momentum as a heavier one if its velocity is correspondingly higher.
Step-by-step explanation:
The provided details suggest that the question is referring to the concept of momentum in physics, more specifically whether a lighter object can have the same momentum as a heavier one. Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity (p = mv).
Therefore, it is not independent of either mass or velocity; both properties are integral to determining an object's momentum. If the subject is indeed momentum, then the correct answers would be, "c. Yes, if the lighter object's velocity is considerably high." and "d. Yes, if the lighter object's velocity is considerably low." In both cases, a change in velocity can compensate for the difference in mass to result in the same momentum for different objects.
