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) Responses One object has a greater density then the other object. One object has a greater density then the other object. One object has a greater speed than the other object. One object has a greater speed than the other object. One object is blue and one object is red. One object is blue and one object is red. One object has a greater volume than the other object.

The correct response is: "One object has a greater speed than the other object."
Kinetic energy is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \), where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity. Since both objects have equal masses, the one with the greater kinetic energy must have a higher speed.
