Problem

A bicycle of mass 15 kg15\,\text{kg} is moving at 2 m/s2\,\text{m/s}, while a scooter of mass 60 kg60\,\text{kg} is moving at 1 m/s1\,\text{m/s}. Without performing detailed calculations, state whether the bicycle’s kinetic energy is greater than, less than, or equal to that of the scooter. Give a brief reason for your choice.
