Q8.6 (a) If the momentum of a single point object is equal to zero, must the object's kinetic energy also be zero? (b) If the mo- mentum of a pair of point objects is equal to zero, must the kinetic energy of those objects also be zero? (c) If the kinetic energy of a pair of point objects is equal to zero, must the momentum of those objects also be zero? Explain your reasoning in each case.
