Kinetic energy increases as speed or mass increases, or as potential energy decreases.Velocity increases(The kinetic energy of an object would also increase as its mass increases, but this doesn't usually happen.)
it speeds up
That depends on what happens to its speed. The formula for kinetic energy is:KE = m(v)^2, in which m is mass in kg and vis speed in m/s.If either the mass or the speed increases, the kinetic energy will increase. So if the mass of the rolling snowball increases, but the speed remains constant, its kinetic energy will increase.However, in reality, due to friction between the snowball and the ground, the speed will decrease until the snowball stops. So the kinetic energy under natural conditions would decrease, even though the mass increases.

kinetic energy of object=1/2 (mv2 ) mass of that object remains constant through out the motion so K.E. remains constant.. if some how mass decreasing then by formula we can see that the kinetic energy will also decrease.
Kinetic Energy increases as velocity increases. Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * Mass * Velocity2
the defining equation for kinetic energy= 1/2 mv2therefore kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass or as kinetic energy increases, mass increases proportionally (and vice versa).therefore if mass is doubled, the kinetic energy is also doubled.
Kinetic energy of a mass is directly proportional to two variables: its mass and speed. Many mistake kinetic energy as being proportional to mass and velocity; it is, in fact, mass and speed. (With all technicalities aside, the speed is the factor that matters in computing kinetic energy of an object or a mass). Kinetic Energy = 0.5mv2 (m = mass and v = speed of the mass) Therefore, if the speed of the object increases, the kinetic energy increases. If the speed of the object decreases, the kinetic energy decreases. Similarly, if the mass of the object increases while traveling, its kinetic energy increases. If the mass of the object decreases, the kinetic energy decreases. All has to do with the directly proportional relationship between the two variables and the kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy for nonrelativistic speeds is 1/2 times mass times speed squared. If ONLY the mass increases, then the kinetic energy will also increase.
it gets greater because the greater the mass the greater kinetic energy
Increasing mass increases kinetic energy. The formula for KE = 1/2mv2, where m is mass in kg and v is velocity in m/s. KE is directly proportional to both mass and velocity, so if either one increases, so does the KE.
Generally speed. But also, if the obect is for example travellin up, the potential energy also increases.

it speeds up
because of momentum and kinetic energy
It increases the kinetic energy, because it is inversely related.
The kinetic energy depends on both mass and speed. If either mass or speed increase, the kinetic energy will increase as well.
