A collision

A car  has a mass 1000 kg and a speed of 10m/s and is heading east down a road.   A truck has a mass of 3000 kg and a speed of 10m/s head west on a road. 

Which vehicle has the greatest kinetic energy? 

Which vehicle has the most momentum? 

What happens to the momentum and kinetic energy if the cars collide?

 Zach and Andrew get up on a roof to test the potential energy of a bowling ball. They plan to drop the bowling ball off the roof that is a 100 meters high. The bowling ball weighs 3kgs. What is the potential energy of the bowling ball? Is it possible to calculate the kinetic energy of the bowling ball as it falls?
