Given the statement:

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

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

The momentum of a body can be expressed as:

momentum = mass x velocity

Since velocity depends on mass and velocity, if the body is not in motion, the velocity will be 0.

Hence, if the velocity is zero, the momentum will also be zero.

The momentum of any body at rest is always zero.

Therefore, the given statement is True.

ANSWER:

True.
