An object would have the greatest momentum in the following situations:
1. When it has a large mass and is moving with a high velocity.
2. When it has a high velocity and is moving in the same direction as the applied force or impulse.
3. When it has a large mass and is involved in a collision or interaction that imparts a significant change in its velocity.
These situations can be summarized by the momentum equation: momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v). Increasing either the mass or velocity will result in an increase in momentum.
