The kinetic energy possessed by the skydiver is 14, 062. 5 Joules

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

It is also described as the work that is required to accelerate a body of mass from rest to its given velocity.

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is expressed as;

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

Where;

m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of the object

Now, substitute the values

Kinetic energy = 1/2 (45)(25)²

Find the square

Kinetic energy = 1/2 (45)(625)

Find the product

Kinetic energy = 1/2(28125)

Find the quotient

Kinetic energy = 14, 062. 5 Joules

Hence, the value is 14, 062. 5 Joules

PYTHAGORAS THEOREM

${c}^{2} - {b}^{2} = {a}^{2} \\ {7}^{2} - {5}^{2} = {x}^{2} \\ 49 - 25 = 24 \\ \sqrt{24} = 4.89897948557$

Find and label -0 on the number line. Explain.<br><br> Does -0 just mean 0?

poizon [28]

The opposite of the number 0 that is -0 on the number line will be equal to 0 itself.

A number line may be defined as a scale consisting of numbers labelled from 0 to 9 which are used to plot or mark different points for various entities. Number line extends from 0 to 9 in the positive side that is usually taken as right-hand side and it extends from 0 to -9 in the negative side that is usually taken as the left-hand side. The numbers on the right-hand side of number line have their opposites on the left-hand side. The opposite of a number x is taken as -x. For example, the opposite of 4 is taken as -4 and 4 lies on right-hand side whereas -4 lies on left-hand side. 0 lies on the center of number line and is taken as the main point. It is neither positive nor negative so the opposite of 0 is 0. The figure of number line is attached.
