Answer:

Yes, they have.

Step-by-step explanation:

As kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, the velocity increasing has a greater effect on the translational kinetic energy. If the mass is doubled the kinetic energy of the object will double as well, and doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.
