If you have two objects moving at the same velocity, would the object with bigger mass have higher or lower kinetic energy?​

Answer:

The kinetic energy of a moving object is directly proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the square of its velocity. This means that an object with twice the mass and equal speed will have twice the kinetic energy while an object with equal mass and twice the speed will have quadruple the kinetic energy.
