What is one way to decrease the kinetic energy of an object?(1 point)

Question

Responses

Increase its mass.
Increase its mass.

Decrease its speed.
Decrease its speed.

Decrease its volume.
Decrease its volume.

Increase its weight.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Decrease its speed.

Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula $KE=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$, where $m$ is mass and $v$ is velocity. Decreasing the speed (velocity) of an object will decrease its kinetic energy.
