Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with mass, meaning that as mass increases so does the Kinetic Energy of an object. ... Objects with greater mass can have more kinetic energy even if they are moving more slowly, and objects moving at much greater speeds can have more kinetic energy even if they have less mass
the mass of the shells will remain the same because you can not change mass even if you were to leave this planet and go to the moon your weight would change but your mass remains the same
