Question

Seema knows the mass of a basketball. What other information is needed to find the ball’s potential energy? the volume and height the ball reaches the volume and shape of the ball acceleration due to gravity and the height the ball reaches acceleration due to gravity and the shape of the ball

Answer 1

 It is because the potential energy is similar to MgH.

 When it comes to MgH, it means mass, gravity and height respectively.

 By using the value of acceleration, seema will find the potential energy of a ball.

Answer 2

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity and the height the ball reaches

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object can be determined using its mass and the height of the ball it reaches. It is given by :

$E_p=m\times g\times h$

Where

m = mass of the ball

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height reached by the ball

Hence, to find the ball’s potential energy she must know the "acceleration due to gravity and the height the ball reaches". Hence, the correct option is (c).
