Solution

  1. The formula for the kinetic energy of a body is K=12mv2, where m is mass and v is the velocity.
  2. From the above formula we can tell that the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the body.
  3. Therefore higher the mass of an object, the more is its kinetic energy.

Hence, If two objects move at the same speed, the object with the higher Mass will have more kinetic energy.
