Question

seema knows the mass of a basketball. what other information is needed to find the balls potential
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

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is \(U = mgh\), where \(m\) is mass, \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity, and \(h\) is height. Since Seema already knows the mass (\(m\)), she needs acceleration due to gravity (\(g\)) and height (\(h\)). Volume and shape are not relevant to potential energy calculation.

Answer:

acceleration due to gravity and the height the ball reaches
