A 500 Kg crate is carried horizontally at a constant speed of 7m/s. What is the Kinetic energy of the crate?

Would the Kinetic energy of the crate be 0 since it is carried horizontally? If not, How would I solve for the Kinetic Energy?
Also, would the Work done on the crate be zero as well?
Lastly what is the momentum of the crate?

The kinetic energy of the crate, K.E.
= (1/2) m v²
= (1/2) × 500 × 7² J
= 12300 J

As the crate is at a constant speed, the acceleration, a = 0
The force acting on the crate, F = m a = 0
The work done on the crate, W = F s = 0

The momentum of the crate, p
= m v
= 500 × 7 kg•m/s
= 3500 kg•m/s

The work done would be 0 if the crate was put down again.
Carried at a constant speed, no KE is generated. Only if it is accelerated.
It will have some momentum.
