Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}[/tex]

We know that:

[tex]E_T = U + K[/tex]

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

h = 20 meters
