Answer:

when compared, they are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

the quantity of work done on object to get it to move in the horizontal direction as well as amount of kinetic energy gained by this object have a direct relationship.

this is true because we are going by the work-energy theory.

"the net work done on any object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of that object".

therefore amount of kinetic energy gained = work done to make it go in an horizontal direction.
