Answer;

X, Z, Y, W

Explanation;

-Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. As long as an object is moving at the same velocity, it will maintain the same kinetic energy.

-The kinetic energy of an object is calculated from the velocity and the mass of the object. K.E =1/2 mv²

-From the formula the velocity is squared which means it can have a significant impact on kinetic energy, thus the higher the velocity the higher the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is also impacted by the mass of a body, such that the higher the mass the higher the kinetic energy.
