Answer:
C. The atom loses 1 electron to have a total of 36.
Explanation:
Cations have a positive charge. Cations lose electrons.
The number of electrons in a Rubidium atom is 37. If the atom loses 1 electron, then it has 36 left.

Answer:
g' = 10.12m/s^2
Explanation:
In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.
You use the following formula:
(1)
l: length of the pendulum = ?
g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2
T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s
You solve for l in the equation (1):
Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:
g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain
T': new period of the pendulum
The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2
Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
