Physics - Mechanics - Momentum - Linear momentum - Which Hurts More?

Present 6 impact scenarios and ask 'Which would hurt more / be harder to stop?' (1) A tennis ball at 50 m/s vs a bowling ball at 5 m/s (Bowling ball - more momentum despite lower speed). (2) A truck at 10 km/h vs a bicycle at 50 km/h (Truck - much more mass). (3) A bullet (0.01kg at 300 m/s) vs a fo
