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)

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 density then the other object.

One object is blue and one object is red.

1 answer

The correct option 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 the mass and \( v \) is the velocity (speed). Since both objects have equal masses, the object with the greater kinetic energy must be the one with the greater speed.
