Answer:

D) Ping pong ball, cotton ball, baseball, bowling ball, wrecking ball.

Explanation:

If they are moving at the same time, the objects that have more mass have more kinetic energy.

the heaviest is the wrecking ball, and then the bowling ball, the baseball, the cotton ball, and the ping pong ball.

The only answer that follows this (in reverse) is D
