Question
Can an object have energy without momentum?

Answer

Yes, there is intermal energy due to thermal motion of the particles of the object, whereas the vector sum of the momentum of the moving particles can be zero.

Suppose we define a quantity 'Linear Pomentum' as linear pomentum = mass × speed. The linear pomentum of a system of particles is the sum of linear pomenta of the individual particles. Can we state a principle of conservation of linear pomentum as ''linear pomentum of a system remains constant if no external force acts on it?''
