Answer:

answer

Step-by-step explanation:

An object that has a small mass and an object that has a large mass have the same momentum. ... Since the kinetic energy of an object is momentum times of speed. Therefore, for the same momentum, the mass of higher speed will have more energy i.e. the smaller mass.
