Question

If two airplanes, one big and one small, travel at the same speed, the smaller one has more kinetic energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.
2. Kinetic energy equation is given by:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

where m=mass of the body and v =velocity of the body.

3. Since both planes have the same speed, therefore the plane having less mass will have less kinetic energy.

Hence the above statement is false.
