Can two people be moving in different speed and have same kinetec energy?

Certainly, because kinetic energy is determined by both mass and speed. If I'm traveling at 1/2 the speed that you are, but I have 4 times as much mass as you have, then our kinetic energies are equal. And for an example in the other direction . . . If my mass is only 1% of yours, but I'm traveling at 10 times your speed, then our kinetic energies are equal. That's how a bullet or a baseball can knock a grown person off his feet. Kinetic Energy = 1/2 (mass) x (speed)2
