A 55.1x 103 aircraft is flying at 900 km/hr at a
height of 10km.
What is its energy (kinetic and potential) ?
Show all work and steps please!
Velocity=900km/h =900*1000/3600 m/s =250 m/s
Kinetic energy=0.5*m*V^2
=0.5*55.1*10^3*250^2
=1.722*10^9 J
Potential energy =mgh
=55.1*10^3*9.8*10*10^3
=5.4*10^9 J
