Given the statement:

The body will have zero momentum if it is not in the motion.

Let's determine if the statement is false or true.

The momentum of a body can be expressed as:

Momentum = mass x velocity.

Since the momentum depends on the velocity and mass, when the body is not in motion, the velocity will be zero.

If the velocity is zero, then the momentum will also be zero.

The momentum of any motionless body is zero.

Therefore, the given statement is True.

ANSWER:

1. True.
