Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

A because the faster something moves, the hotter, and the slower, the colder. This paradigm can also be seen in the solid liquid and gas states of water. D because kinetic energy is the moving energy of something, and if the "something" were to slow down, the the levels of kinetic energy would be lowered as well. Mass and weight cannot change due to a speed decrease alone, meaning those two options can be ruled out.
