Which object has a greater amount of kinetic energy? A tennis ball that weighs 0.25 pounds, or a bowling ball that weighs 6 pounds.

a
tennis ball
b
bowling ball

The bowling ball has a greater amount of kinetic energy because it has more mass compared to the tennis ball. The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass, so the heavier object (the bowling ball) will have more kinetic energy than the lighter object (the tennis ball).
