GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct response is: **One object has a greater speed than the other object.** In classical physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the formula $ KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 $, where $ m $ is the mass and $ v $ is the velocity (speed) of the object. If both objects have equal masses, the one with the greater speed will have greater kinetic energy.
