You are told 3 things...1. That there are two objects with equal masses. 2. Both objects are in motion. 3. One object has a greater kinetic energy than the other. How is this possible? (1 point)

None of these options are correct. The statement "both objects have equal masses" implies that the two objects have the same amount of matter, so their volume and density should also be equal. The only explanation for one object having a greater kinetic energy than the other is that the object with greater kinetic energy has a greater velocity.

I apologize if my previous response was not clear. Based on the information given, the only possible explanation is that one object has a greater speed than the other object. This would result in a difference in their kinetic energies, despite having equal masses.
A large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed, traveling up and down hills, and over bumpy roads. Which one has more kinetic energy?(1 point)

The car has more kinetic energy because it moves fast down hills.
