one object has light mass another object has heavy mass but they have same Momentum so one has mass Greater and one has velocity Greater
object with light mass has more kinetic energy
object with light mass has more kinetic energy

Answer:
P1 = m1v1
P2 = m2v2
But P1 = P2 or m1v1 = m2v2
if m1<m2 then v1<v2
(K.E)1 = 1/2 m1v2/1
(K.E)2 = 1/2 m2v2/2
(K.E)1 = 1/2(m1v1) = 1/2(p1v1)
(K.E)2 = 1/2(m2v2)v2 = 1/2 p2v2
(K.E)1/(K.E)2 = 1/2p1v1 / 1/2p2v2
V-1/2
But v1>v2 Therefore (K.E)1 > (K.E)2
Hope it helps you..
