You are told three things. one that there are two objects with equal masses. 2. both objects are in motion 3. one object has a greater kinetic energy than the other. how is this possible?

This scenario is possible if the objects have different velocities. Kinetic energy (KE) depends not only on the mass of an object but also on its velocity. The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity squared (KE = 1/2 * m * v^2).

If the velocities of the two objects are different, even though they have equal masses, the object with the higher velocity will have a greater kinetic energy. Therefore, the object with the greater kinetic energy has a higher velocity compared to the other object.
