Consider dropping a basketball a distance of 2.0m2.0m.
Part (a)
If you did this at sea level, call the change in potential energy ΔU0ΔU0, and if you did this at an altitude of 300m300m, call the change in potential energy ΔU1ΔU1. Which of the following correctly specifies the relative sizes of these potential energy changes? You may assume the gravitational acceleration, gg, is constant over this altitude change.
 It is impossible to determine without more information.  ΔU0<ΔU1ΔU0<ΔU1  ΔU0>ΔU1ΔU0>ΔU1  ΔU0=ΔU1ΔU0=ΔU1
