Answer:The velocity decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with mass, meaning that as mass increases so does the Kinetic Energy of an object. The same is true of velocity.

The velocity would decrease because mass and velocity are inversely related. The equation for Kinetic Energy is: KE = 1/2 mv2. Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with mass, meaning that as mass increases so does the Kinetic Energy of an object. The same is true of velocity.
