The correct answer to the question is A) 35.3 J i.e the kinetic energy of the cat is 35.3 J.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the cat m = 4.50 kg.

The cat sits on a ledge which is 0.800 m above the ground.

Hence, the height of the cat from the surface of earth h = 0.800 m.

We are asked to determine the kinetic energy of the cat when it just reaches the ground.

The potential energy of the cat at a height h is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

                                                          = 4.50 × 9.8 × 0.800 J.

                                                          = 35.28 J

                                                          = 35.3 J

Here, g is called acceleration due to gravity. Its value is g = 9.8\ m/s^2

From law of conservation of energy, we know that energy is neither created nor destroyed. The total energy of a system is always constant, and energy changes from one form to another form.

When the cat is at certain height from the ground, it has potential energy. When it starts jumping, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When it just reaches the ground, whole of its potential energy must have converted into kinetic energy.

Hence, the kinetic energy of the cat just before reaching ground = Potential energy of the cat at height 0.800 m above the ground.

Hence, the kinetic energy of the cat just before reaching the ground is 35.3 Joule.

Tapping means the maximum use of the energy by the people.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

The energy is the ability to do work.

The energy that can be tapped is solar energy. There are many ways developed to tap the solar energy and make the best use of it by solar plant, water heating, cooking, etc.

Thus, tapping means the maximum use of the energy by the people.

"State the process that divides one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei"
kompoz [17]

Answer:

<em>Mitosis</em>

Explanation:

Mitosis: Mitosis is a cell or nuclear division following the duplicate of the chromosomes, whereby each daughter cell or nucleus has exactly the same chromosomes content as the parent. In other words, mitosis is a cell division in which daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Mitosis takes place during organism's growth, development, and asexual reproduction. in plants mitosis takes place in the terminal bud of the shoot at the tip of the roots and shoots. In animal mitosis occur at growth centres which are everywhere.

Mitosis produce diploid number, in order word, the number of chromosomes in each somatic cell of an organism is called the diploid number (2n)

Example of mitosis is the multiplication of the skin covering a child's body during growth
