Question

A plane of mass 300 kg and a cargo plane of mass 30000 kg; which one has more potential energy if the height of planes flying is the same?

  1. Plane
  2. Cargo plane
  3. Air
  4. None

hintHint:

Potential energy= mass x gravitational acceleration x height.

The correct answer is: Cargo plane


    Given,
    mass of plane = 300kg
    mass of cargo plane = 30,000kg
    Let, the height of both the plane and cargo plane be h
    According to the formula,
    Potential energy= mass x gravitational acceleration x height.
    Potential energy of plane (PEp) = 300 x g x h
    PEp = 300gh       (equation -1)
    Potential energy of cargo plane (PEc) = 30,000 x g x h
    PEc = 30,000gh   (equation -2)
    From above two equations, we can say that the potential energy of the cargo plane is more than the potential energy of the plane.
