Answer:

Kinetic energy increases

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy that kinda only happens when somethings like moving so if something is moving super fast its kinetic energy is increasing but if something is slowing down from fast to slow its kinetic energy is decreasing that make sense?
