Car A has a mass of 1500 kg and is moving at 89 miles per hour.

Car B has a mass of 1501 kg and is moving at 28 miles per hour.

Which statement below best describes the kinetic energy of each car?

Car A has more energy than Car B because it is traveling faster than Car B.

Car A has more energy than Car B because it has a smaller mass than Car B.

Car B has more energy than Car A because it has a bigger mass than Car A.

Both cards have about the same energy because they have about the same mass.
