Answer:

*Decreasing an object's velocity can increase kinetic energy. *Increasing an object's velocity can decrease kinetic energy. *The velocity of an object has no effect on kinetic energy.

ExplanIf the temperature is increased, the average speed and kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase. If the volume is held constant, the increased speed of the gas molecules results in more frequent and more forceful collisions with the walls of the container, therefore increasing the pressure (Figure 1).
