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

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.

In such cases, the kinetic energy of the object decreases because part of it is transferred to another object, resulting in a decrease in the speed of the original object. This is consistent with the law of conservation of energy, where energy is not destroyed but can change forms or be transferred between objects.
