Explanation:

Decreases in mass cause decreases in kinetic energy due to the aforementioned positive relationship between the two. ... In the case of a decrease in mass and velocity, kinetic energy must decrease because both of the determining factors decreased.

Therefore, in a scenario where mass is decreased, an increase in kinetic energy is possible if velocity increases. In the case of a decrease in mass and velocity, kinetic energy must decrease because both of the determining factors decreased.
