The BUS will have the highest kinetic energy, while the BICYCLE will have the lowest kinetic energy.

This is because if an object has a greater mass, the kinetic energy of the object also increases. Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2) and since the velocity of these vehicles are the same, the mass is the only difference
