False.
The kinetic energy of an object increases as its speed increases. The kinetic energy (KE) is calculated using the formula:
\[ KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \]
where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( v \) is its velocity. As the speed (velocity) increases, the kinetic energy increases since it is proportional to the square of the speed.
