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

The answer is acceleration due to gravity and the height the ball reaches

The potential energy of the object is actually its stored energy. The potential energy of the basketball can be expressed as:

E = m · g · h

where

E - the potential energy of the basketball,

m - the mass of the basketball,

g - acceleration due to gravity,

h - the height of the basketball.

Since Seema knows the mass of the ball (m), to calculate the potential energy of the ball (E), she will also need acceleration due to gravity (g) and the height the ball reaches (h).
