a. 0.01 J
b. 75 J
c. 7,350,000 J
d. 37,500,000 J

Answer 1

Hello!

`\large\boxed{\text{C. 7,350,000 J}}`

Use the equation:

`PE = mgh`

Where:

m = mass of the object (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (≈9.8 m/s)

h = height above ground (m)

Plug the given values into the equation:

PE = 7500 · 9.8 · 100

PE = 7,350,000 Joules.
