One object has a greater speed than the other object.

One object has a greater density then the other object.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

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 mass and $ v $ is speed. Since both objects have equal masses, if one object has a greater speed, it will have a greater kinetic energy.
