Is it possible for an object’s kinetic energy to suddenly decrease? If so, what can be said about the speed of the object? HELP ASAP

No, this is not possible. Energy cannot be destroyed.


Yes, this is possible. This occurs when an object’s kinetic energy is suddenly transformed into speed, so it loses energy but gains speed.


Yes, this is possible. This occurs during a collision, and the object’s energy is transferred into another object, slowing the object down.

No, this is not possible. Energy can only increase, not decrease.
