The average kinetic energy K.E(av) is measured by:

K.E(av)=3/2RT

the average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature .

When water freezes, the temperature decreases and therefore, the average kinetic energy will also decreases as well.

Which quantity and unit are INCORRECTLY paired?

liq [111]

Force, the unit is Newton, newton is the force to accelerate a mass. so it should be kg m/s^2

joule (J) is equal to Nm not Ns

the unit of work is J and it is correct.
the unit of power is J/s which is equal to W
the unit of of energy is the same with work, which is J which equivalent to kgm2/s2
