So you still refuse to acount for the KE increase of
the larger mass.

KE is, in general, not a conserved quantity. Momentum
is.

Further, you have yet to explain exactly what you think
happens to a mass when it is set in motion. I get the
feeling that you're thinking that somehow the mass gets
larger (a la Relativistic mass dilation). Are you
actually embracing Relativity?
