Real life phenomenon of atomic physics

Aman throws a football straight into the air. as it rises, it slows down. which type of energy is the football gaining?

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?

During cooling, the kinetic energy of the molecules falls. why does this happen? a.the motion of the molecules increases. b. the motion of the molecules slows down. c.the van der waals forces between molecules decrease d. the forces of attraction between the molecules are overcome.
