Simply put, more mass means more kinetic energy if the speed stays the same. Think of a truck vs. a bike!
From my physics classes, I remember kinetic energy skyrocketing if the mass or velocity goes up. Mass is the key player here!
You could say mass and kinetic energy are besties鈥攖he more you have of the first, the more you get of the second.
KE = 1/2 mv^2. That means if you increase mass, you increase kinetic energy. It's that straightforward.
