A jet airplane is flying at a height of 10,300 m at a velocity of 240 m/s. If the mass of the airplane is 85,000 kg, and if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.70 m/s2, determine the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the airplane.

Given: m = 85,000 kg; g = 9.70 m/s2; z = 10,300 m; V = 240 m/s

What will be an ideal response?


PE = mgz = (85,000 kg)(9.70 m/s2)(10,300 m ) = 8.49 x 109 J = 8,490 MJ
