Both objects have the same amount of kinetic energy.
Both objects have the same amount of kinetic energy.

Neither object has any kinetic energy.

To determine which object has the least amount of kinetic energy, we need to consider the mass and velocity of both objects based on the information provided in the figure, which I cannot see. However, kinetic energy (KE) is calculated using the formula:

\[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \]

Where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity of the object.

  1. If one or both of the objects have zero velocity, then those objects will have no kinetic energy.
  2. If both objects are moving, compare their masses and velocities to calculate their respective kinetic energies.

If you can provide more information about the objects, such as their velocities and masses, I can help you determine which has the least kinetic energy. Otherwise, based on the responses provided, if neither object has any velocity, then both would have zero kinetic energy.
