Answer:

The object at 50°C will have a higher kinetic energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. As you introduce more energy into the system (e.g. heat the object), the particles on average move faster because they have more kinetic energy.
