The correct response is:
An increase in mass causes an increase in kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity. From this formula, it is clear that if the mass increases while the velocity remains constant, the kinetic energy will also increase.
