    The kinetic energy of car 1 is half Kinetic energy of car 2

    Explanation:

    velocity of car 1 is V1 while that of car 2 is V2

    From the question:

    V1 = V2

    If mass of car 1 is m, then mass of car 2 is 2m

    E = 1/2mv^2

    kinetic energy of car 2 = 1/2*2mv^2 = mv^2

    kinetic energy of car 1 = 1/2mv^2

    Therefore, Kinetic energy of car 1 is half kinetic energy of car 2
