Increasing the mass of an object has no effect on its kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of an object is determined by its mass and its speed, according to the equation KE = 1/2 mv^2. If the mass is increased, but the speed remains the same, the kinetic energy will not change. However, if the speed of the object is increased, the kinetic energy will increase.
