Based on the context provided, here are the expected changes in kinetic energy for each scenario:

1. **The water in the beaker as it is being heated**
- **Increase in Kinetic Energy**

2. **The washers after being placed in the beaker of water**
- **Increase in Kinetic Energy** (as they absorb heat from the water)

3. **The water in the cup after the washers are placed in it**
- **Decrease in Kinetic Energy** (since the washers absorb some heat, lowering the energy of the water)

4. **The washers after being placed in the cup of water**
- **Decrease in Kinetic Energy** (as they transfer some heat to the water)

Feel free to ask if you need further explanation on any of these points!
