Kinetic energy is proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity.

Answer:

Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with mass, meaning that as mass increases so does the Kinetic Energy of an object. ... Objects with greater mass can have more kinetic energy even if they are moving more slowly, and objects moving at much greater speeds can have more kinetic energy even if they have less mass
