Question

An aeroplane flying high in the sky possesses :

• A. Potential Energy
• B. Kinetic Energy
• C. both (A) and (B)
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C

both (A) and (B)

Kinetic energy:

1. Kinetic energy is the kind of energy present in an object due to its motion.
2. Ex: A moving car have kinetic energy.

Potential energy:

1. Potential Energy is the type of energy present in an object due to its position or configuration
2. Ex: stored water in dam, stretched or compressed springs etc.

An aeroplane flying high in the sky possesses potential energy

1. While Aeroplane is flying due to motion aeroplane has kinetic energy.
2. Due to height of aeroplane from the ground, aeroplane has potential energy due to gravity.

Hence, An aeroplane flying high in the sky possesses : potential and kinetic energy.
