One object has a greater mass than the other object.
that was wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. One possible explanation for two objects with equal masses, both in motion, but with different kinetic energies, could be that one object is moving at a higher velocity than the other. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, so even with equal masses, the object with the higher velocity would have a greater kinetic energy.
wrong

The truck has more kinetic energy because it has a greater mass.
The truck has more kinetic energy because it has a greater mass.
The car has more kinetic energy because it moves fast down hills.
The car has more kinetic energy because it moves fast down hills.
