Any mass can be expressed in terms of energy, according to the famous formula, E=mC^2.

Thus, any mass (m), having a momentum will always have some energy associated with it.

Can a body have energy without momentum?

Sure. A bowling ball sitting on the top shelf in the closet has a great deal of potential energy. But it's not moving, so its momentum is zero. And let's not forget the heat energy in a glass of water, the chemical energy in a gallon of gasoline, or the electrical energy in a battery ?


Can a body have kinetic energy without having momentum?

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) Kinetic Energy = 1/2 (mass) x (speed)2 It looks like the only way a body can have zero momentum is to have either zero mass or else zero speed, and if either of those is zero, then that makes the KE also zero as well, too. So the answer to the question is apparently: no.


When velocity of body is doubled?

If the velocity of a body is doubled, its kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four. This relationship is because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity. Additionally, the momentum of the body will also double.


What will happen to the momentum of a moving object if stops without any collision?

You need to frame your question better. A movinng object will not change momentum unless a force acts upon it. A force could be supplied by many things including a collision, gravity, friction What evr happens, energy will be conserved. If friction through air reduces a body's momentum, then the momentum of the of the body will be transfered to momentum of the air particles (which is ultimately seen as heat, and is infact an increase in speed and hence momentum of the molecules


How can the momentum of a body be increase?

The momentum of a body can be increased by either increasing its mass or its velocity. Increasing the mass of the body will increase its momentum, while increasing the velocity of the body will also increase its momentum as momentum is calculated as mass times velocity.

Can abody have energy without having momentum?

yes. a body can have energy without momentum also. consider a body at a height 'h' m above the ground level , potential energy contained is = mgh but , as the velocity is 0 we can consider that the momentum of the body is 0


Can a body have kinetic energy with out having momentum?

Can a body have energy wothout momentum?

A body can't have kinetic energy without also having momentum. But it can have any otherkind of energy ... the ones that don't involve motion. A charged battery, a stretched rubber band,a can of gunpowder in a drawer, a bowling ball on a high shelf, a gallon of water behind HooverDam on a calm day, and a coil of wire carrying an electric current, all have plenty of energy butno momentum.


Is this possible that a body can have momentum but no energy?

No.


What is the difference between energy and momentum?

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Energy is the capacity of a body to do work.


What is the state of a body having zero momentum?

Zero momentum means that the state of a body is also zero, and is static.

Can kinetic energy cause changes?

kinetic energy can change momentum of the body if any external force exist


How does the kinetic energy of a body change if its momentum is halved?

Since momentum is proportional to the velocity, half the momentum means half the velocity (and therefore half the speed). And since kinetic energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the speed, half the speed means 1/4 the kinetic energy.
