The statement "One object has a greater speed than the other object" explains how one object can have greater kinetic energy than the other despite both having equal masses.
Kinetic energy (\( KE \)) is given by the equation:
\[ KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \]
where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the speed of the object. Since both objects have equal mass, the object with the greater speed will have a higher kinetic energy due to the square of the speed in the formula.
