Answer: A Answers. Assuming that the terminal velocity doesn't change during the fall, then the kinetic energy would remain constant. However the terminal velocity decreases during the fall since the air becomes denser at lower altitudes.

Step-by-step explanation:

What happens to the KE of an object when it slows down and heats up? - Quora. The kinetic energy goes down and the loss of the kinetic energy is through the production of heat energy. In real world this is due to friction, or an opposing force that decelerates the object, or a combination of both.
