The correct response is: **One object has a greater speed than the other object.** This is possible because kinetic energy is given by the formula $ KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 $. Since both objects have the same mass, the kinetic energy depends on the square of their velocities; thus, if one object is moving faster, it can have greater kinetic energy even though the objects have equal mass.
