### Momentum Ranking Exercise

#### Rank the following from greatest to least momentum:

1. **A 0.03 kg arrow moving toward a target at a speed of 150 m/s**
   - Incorrect selection

2. **A 6300 kg elephant moving east at a speed of 0.11 m/s**
   - Correct selection

3. **A 60 kg deer moving west at a speed of 16.4 m/s**
   - Incorrect selection

4. **A 0.42 kg soccer ball moving downfield at a speed of 12 m/s**
   - Incorrect selection

### Explanation:

Momentum is calculated by the formula:

\[ \text{Momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \]

- For the arrow: 
  \[ 0.03 \, \text{kg} \times 150 \, \text{m/s} = 4.5 \, \text{kg m/s} \]

- For the elephant:
  \[ 6300 \, \text{kg} \times 0.11 \, \text{m/s} = 693 \, \text{kg m/s} \]

- For the deer: 
  \[ 60 \, \text{kg} \times 16.4 \, \text{m/s} = 984 \, \text{kg m/s} \]

- For the soccer ball:
  \[ 0.42 \, \text{kg} \times 12 \, \text{m/s} = 5.04 \, \text{kg m/s} \]

Thus, the correct ranking in terms of momentum from greatest to least is:

1. **A 60 kg deer moving west at a speed of 16.4 m/s** (984 kg m/s)
2. **A 6300 kg elephant moving east at a speed of 0.11 m/s** (693 kg m/s)
3. **A 0.42 kg soccer ball moving downfield at a speed of 12 m/s** (5.04 kg m/s)
4. **A 0.03 kg arrow moving toward a target at a speed of 150 m/s** (4.5 kg m/s)

However, according to the image, the correct understanding of the relative momentum values is as follows which seems to indicate an instructional error
