can a body have a momentum and no kinetic energy? why?why not?

No.
A nonzero momentum means a nonzero velocity, since mass can't be zero.
Now a nonzero velocity, when dot producted with itself. v.v = v2 to be used in kinetic energy calculation gives a nonzero scalar.
It's obvious that a body can't have momentum and no KE or vice versa.

During calculation of acceleration due to gravity above the surface of earth if we assume that there is an external force opposite to that of Earth's gravity then the cos angle will be 180 between the two forces which is negative(-1), if we put the value in the equation of dw = F.dx then the final value of potential energy is positive which is not possible.how and why??
