Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An aeroplane is travelling at a constant speed at an altitude of 1000 m above sea level. Which of the following is TRUE?
A
Its Kinetic energy is increasing
B
It has kinetic energy only
C
It has potential energy only
D
It has both kinetic and potential energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So an aeroplane in motion has both kinetic energy and potential energy. So the correct option is C. This work done is a change in kinetic energy. so the kinetic energy possessed by a body having velocity v is 12mv2.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jet fuel is a refined kerosene-based fuel widely functional in aeroplanes with turbine engines, turboprops and jet engines. You can find two variants of Jet Fuel, namely Jet A and Jet A1. There are basic manufacturing differences between these two types of fuel used in aircraft.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you launch the paper airplane you give it kinetic energy. If you throw it upward, the initial kinetic energy is converted into potential energy and some energy is lost due to air resistance.
