The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2(mv²).  Since both mass and velocity are multiplied by each other, particle with a larger mass needs to be moving slower than a particle with less mass if both have the same kinetic energy. You can think of it as 2KE/m=v² or 2KE/v²=m, If you increase the mass the velocity needs to decrease to keep the same KE value.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

How did the development of the earliest idea about atoms differ from the later work of scientists?
NISA [10]
The early ideas of the atom states that the indivisible object is hollow or is a solid object with nothing inside. The later discoveries or works of the scientists states that inside the atoms are the subatomic particles which are the electrons, protons, and neutrons.
