### Physics: Calculating Kinetic Energy and Momentum

The table below provides the mass and speed data for two objects, A and B, as illustrated in the accompanying figure. The task is to determine: 
(a) the kinetic energy of each object,
(b) the magnitude of the momentum for object A,
(c) the magnitude of the momentum for object B.

#### Data and Figure Representation:

| Object   | Mass   | Speed   |
|----------|--------|---------|
| Object A | 2.40 kg| 5.00 m/s|
| Object B | 5.00 kg| 2.40 m/s|

Objects A and B are visually represented with mass and velocity vectors:

1. **Object A**:
   - Mass = 2.40 kg 
   - Speed = 5.00 m/s 
   - Depicted as a yellow sphere
   - Speed vector shown pointing to the right 

2. **Object B**:
   - Mass = 5.00 kg 
   - Speed = 2.40 m/s 
   - Depicted as a blue sphere 
   - Speed vector shown pointing to the right

#### Explanation of Graphs/Figures:

The figure consists of:
- Two spheres representing objects A and B
- Red arrows indicating the direction and magnitude of their velocity
- Object A (yellow sphere, upper part) moving at 5.00 m/s
- Object B (blue sphere, lower part) moving at 2.40 m/s

For calculations:
1. **Kinetic Energy (KE)**: \( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \)
   - Object A: \( KE_A = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.40 \, \text{kg} \times (5.00 \, \text{m/s})^2 \)
   - Object B: \( KE_B = \frac{1}{2} \times 5.00 \, \text{kg} \times (2.40 \, \text{m/s})^2 \)

2. **Momentum (p)**: \( p = mv \)
   - Object A: \( p_A = 2.40 \, \text{kg} \times 5.00 \, \text{m/s} \)
   - Object B: \( p_B = 5.00 \, \text{
