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

The correct response is: "One object has a greater speed than the other object."
Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is speed. Since the two objects have equal mass, the kinetic energy can differ based on their speeds. Therefore, if one object is moving faster than the other, it will have greater kinetic energy.
