100J is the answer hope this can help

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

GPE = mgh

The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.

GPE =(mg)*h = (20 N)*(5m)=100 J

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Explain how metallic atoms bond to form metallic compounds.
xz_007 [3.2K]

In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “sea” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions

Calculate the acceleration due to gravity inside earth as a function of the radial distance r from the planet's center. (hint: i
denis-greek [22]
An estimated value for gravity at a distance r from the middle of the Earth can be gotten by supposing that the Earth's density is spherically symmetric. The gravity hinge on only on the mass inside the sphere of radius r. All the assistances from outside cancel out as a fall out of the inverse-square law of gravitation. Another result is that the gravity is the same as if all the mass were concentrated at the midpoint. Therefore, the gravitational acceleration at this radius is 
g(r) = GM(r) / r² 
M(r) = mass enclosed by radius r. 
If the Earth had a continual density ρ, the mass would be M(r) = (4/3)πρr³ and the dependence of gravity on distance would be 
g(r) = (4/3)πGρr 
G = 6.674e-11 m³/kgs²

Anarel [89]
I just figured this out now.
First you would use the formula
Ephoton= hc/λ and substitute in the value's of plank's constant, the speed of light in a vaccum and the wavelength which will give you the energy in joules. Then you go to the reference table and solve for the energy used between the different levels for Mercury making sure to convert electron volts to jules. In the end the correct answer should be energy level D.
