Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is incomplete. I think you want to ask a following question.

Q. Which has greater kinetic energy, an object with a mass of 2.0 kg and a velocity of 1.0 m/s or an object with a mass of 0.1 kg and a velocity of 0.2 m/s.

Ans.

So the object having the greater velocity would have greater kinetic energy.

Let's prove it with the help of formula.


K.E = (1)/(2)mv^(2)

Fist case:


K.E = (1)/(2)(2.0)(1.0)^(2)


K.E = 1.0 J

Second case:


K.E = (1)/(2)(1.0)(2.0)^(2)


K.E = 2.0 J
