Answer:
No, if the momentum (mv=0, means v=0).
Thus the kinetic energy too would also be zero.
As KE= 1/2mv².

Yes, an object can have momentum even when its mechanical energy is zero because Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and the Kinetic energy
i.e.,
Mechanical Energy (M.E) = Potential energy (P.E) + Kinetic Energy (K.E)
M.E = 0
So, K.E + P.E = 0
P.E = -K.E
