Yes.  Momentum is a vector, so several non-zero momenta can add up to zero.  Consider for a simple example a mass of 10kg moving to the right at 5m/s, and another mass of 10kg moving to the left at 5m/s.  These momenta each have a magnitude equal to 50 kg m/s but have opposite sign and so the total system's momentum is zero.

You're not going to like this answer, but it's the only one possible:. It wasn't I who learned anything in this unit. If it was either of us, it was YOU. I can't even tell from reading the question what the topic of the unit was. Was it pamphlets ? Microsoft Publisher ? Freshmen ? Getting Through High School ? This is a lot like asking me to write something "in your own words".
