Kinetic energy =(1/2) (mass) (speed²)
First object: KE = (1/2) (2 kg) (2m/s)² = 4 joules during the lift.
Second object: KE = (1/2) (4kg) (3 m/s)² = 18 joules during the lift.
The second object has more kinetic energy while it's being lifted
than the first object has while it's being lifted. Once they reach their
final heights and stop, neither object has any kinetic energy.
Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Newton's first law of motion is that an object in motion will tend to stay in motion unless an external force acts upon it.
