with out momentum the volleyball wouldn't travel, eg: when you throw the ball it carrys momentum through the air, but as soon as force isn't applyed to keep the ball traveling at the same speed, it will loose speed (momentum) and drop to the ground.

How does volleyball use momentum?
It moves :)
How can a bowling ball and a volleyball have the same momentum?
Linear momentum, p=mv, is proportional to mass and velocity. Since the bowling ball far outweighs the volleyball, the difference in velocity would have to be determined in order for them to possess the same amount of momentum. If the volleyball is traveling at a high enough speed (orders of magnitude higher), they can both have the same momentum. Either that or fill the volleyball with concrete.
How can you explain momentum by using volleyball as a example?
Newton's law of motion states something along the lines of the action-reaction force. When the volleyball (in motion) comes down, it bounces off the specific area of your hands/arms/wrists used to "bump" the volleyball. This causes the volleyball to fly into the air, while also causing the reaction force of your hands being pushed downward as you feel the force of the volleyball hitting your skin.
What gives a volleyball velocity when serving?
The momentum of the your body (if you execute the approach correctly) is what help provides the velocity to the ball as it goes over the net. Your hand hitting the volleyball also helps the velocity.

Why do volleyball players swing their legs forward when spiking a ball with their arm?
To gain momentum. It can compare to when you push up with your legs on a pass or a bump.
What is an example of low momentum?
Momentum = Mass x Velocity (p=mv)Of course an object at rest would have no momentum no matter what the mass is (velocity = 0 so momentum = 0).Playing volleyball with a balloon might be something that would be considered low momentum. You can hit it as hard as you like, but it has so little mass that its momentum can hardly overcome the air resistance.You might push a small car at, say 1/4 MPH, and it would have relatively little momentum.However a train traveling at the same 1/4 MPH would still have a lot of momentum.
