k.e. is proportional to the mass of an object and the square of its velocity
the balls have the same velocity but one has twice the mass
the balls have the same velocity but one has twice the mass

u didn't answer the question which has more kinetic energy

yes, he did.
twice the mass, so twice the KE
(2m)v^2 = 2*mv^2
twice the mass, so twice the KE
(2m)v^2 = 2*mv^2
