    The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.

    Explanation:

    gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.

    In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).

    Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass * acceleration due to gravity * height.
