Not if it's potential energy. Only objects with kinetic energy have momentum.

Can an object have momentum without speed?
No, it cannot. In the case of an object moving in the free space (no forces acting on the object) the energy consists of only the kinetic energy which is proportional to squared momentum. Thus, if the object has a momentum it has an energy to. Basically an object possesses some energy in any kind of time, and it might happen that the energy is zero. It doesn't mean that it has no energy. It means that the object has energy equals zero (which is not the same).
Can an object have kinetic energy but no momentum?
No. To have kinetic energy, it must have both mass and velocity; the expression is Ek = 0.5mv2. To have momentum, something must also have mass and velocity; the expression for this is p = mv. Hence , if something has kinetic energy, you know it has momentum, and you can actually derive one from the other (provided you know the velocity); p = 2Ek/v.
A measurement of the motion of something. This is equal to the product of the moving objects's mass times it's velocity?
== == Momentum is the product of the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity (or speed). Momentum is conserved so if a moving object hits a staionary object the total momentum of the two objects after the collision is the same as the momentum of the original moving object.
What happens when sound waves from one object cause another object to vibrate?
When two objects collide they can undergo three possible collisions: perfectly inelastic, inelastic, and perfectly elastic. The first type, perfectly inelastic, is when the two objects stick together and become one, like the collusion of two cars and their hoods scrunch up. Perfectly elastic, on the other end of the scale, results in rebound of the two objects without any lost to kinetic energy, these collisions only occur at the atomic level. The third category is everything that lies between the two: inelastic. The objects do rebound to a certain degree, but kinetic energy is not conserved. Thus, the energy of motion must be converted to another type of energy. Thus, when two object collide, the most common forms of energy that kinetic energy is converted to are sound energy and thermal energy. A simple proof of the energy conversion is the simple clapping of hands, if you clap long enough, your hands get warmer, and of course sound is produced.
How do the mass and velocity of a moving object affects its momentum?
As the velocity decreases, the momentum increases. Mass is the matter inside of something and momentum is how hard it is to stop something. Therefore momentum needs mass to function because without mass there would be no momentum. So think of the sentence above like this: velocity ( a measure of momentum) decreases, the momentum (including mass inside an object) goes up therefore making the mass increase while the velocity decreases.
Which can be described as in an isolated system momentum is always conserved?
Briefly, the only way for an object to change its momentum is by transferring momentum to another object - in other words, the other object will receive a change in momentum in the opposite direction.
What is the difference between momentum and kinetic energy and why is it that kinetic energy can be changed in to other forms of energy but momentum cant?
Firstly, momentum is not a form of energy; the question seems to imply so. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. That energy is provided by a source, and can be removed from the object because energy possessed by an object is not an inherent part of that given object. Momentum is a property of mass; momentum is inherent in the mass of the object, and cannot be removed or put somewhere else, only altered.
What is the energy during momentum?
There is no "energy during momentum". A moving object has both non-zero momentum, and non-zero kinetic energy.
Can an object have momentum without speed?
No, it cannot. In the case of an object moving in the free space (no forces acting on the object) the energy consists of only the kinetic energy which is proportional to squared momentum. Thus, if the object has a momentum it has an energy to. Basically an object possesses some energy in any kind of time, and it might happen that the energy is zero. It doesn't mean that it has no energy. It means that the object has energy equals zero (which is not the same).
An object that has linear momentum must also have?
Momentum. The formula for kinetic energy is: KE = .5 * m *v^2 The formula for momentum is: p = m * v If an object has kinetic energy, then both mass and velocity are non-zero, which implies that the momentum is also non-zero.
What is The energy in a moving object is kept in what kind of energy store?
Momentum
Does momentum conserved during collisions?
Energy, if collision is rigid, total momentum is a constant also.
What direction will the momentum of an object always be going?
Away from the source.
What does an object have when moving that it doesn't at rest?
An object has kinetic energy when it is moving and not when it is at rest. When it is at rest it has potential energy.
What are two ways of increasing the momentum of an object?
1. Add mass to the object. 2. Add energy to the object.
Momentum is a property of an object and cannot be transferred from that object to another object?
Momentum of an object is its own property but it can be transferred by that object to any other object during their collision ( elastic or inelastic ) so as to conserve the total momentum of the system as demonstrated by the law of conservation of momentum. One of the examples of the transferring of momentum is the transfer of momentum and incident energy from photons of x rays to the loosely bound electrons in graphite target in Compton effect.
Why is the momentum of a roller skater is not conserved?
The situation is not quite clear. Total momentum is always conserved, but momentum can be transferred from one object to another.
