    Momentum is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.
