Question

Is it possible a body possesses energy without having
momentum? Explain.
​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Yes, possible. For an object staying at height h from the ground possess a potential energy of mgh. But it's momentum is zero since it's at rest. No, not possible

Answer 2

Answer:

HOPE IT HELPS YOU.....

Explanation:

A body near the earth surface have acceleration of gravity g

Hence, if (height from earth surface) h<<<R

e

(Radius of earth)

even in a rest state, when momentum is zero,

Body still have potential energy, U=mgh (where, m= mass of body).

Hence, it is possible to have energy without having momentum.
