Answer
The delivery truck has more kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to an object's mass and the square of its velocity (). Since both the bicycle and the delivery truck are moving at the same speed, the object with the greater mass will have more kinetic energy. A delivery truck has significantly more mass than a bicycle, so it possesses more kinetic energy.
