    The kinetic energy of a moving object is calculated through the equation,

    KE = 0.5mv²

    where KE is kinetic energy, m is mass, and v is the velocity. Substituting the known values in the problem above,

    KE = 0.5 (55 kg) (16 m/s) ²

    KE = 7,040 J

    Thus, the kinetic energy of the skydiver is approximately equal to 7 kJ.
