Question

can a body possess energy without momentum

Answer 1

According to einstien theorem when a body remains in rest bit also has rest mass energy which is equal to E=mc^2.wand we know that when a body which is at rest then its moment will be zero. therefore a body can posses energy without momentum.But according to newton's law it is possible in that case when body has only contains potential energy with respect to any refrence line...if you have prob. after reading above, say me...

Answer 2

A body can have energy without momentum. But it can not have momentum without energy.

Answer 3

Heard of potential energy?

Answer 4

two kinds of mechanical energy are present in a body: potential energy and kinetic energy.
PE= mgh
KE = (1/2)mv^2 = p^2/(2m),
where p is the momentum.
a body not having momentum can have only PE and not KE..
