An aeroplane's velocity is doubled, What happens to kinetic energy ? Is the law of conservation of energy obeyed ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The kinetic energy of the aeroplane, i.e., `(1)/(2)m upsilon^2` becomes four times its previous value, when its velocity `(upsilon)` is doubled. Yes, the additional kinetic energy comes from the chemical energy of the fuel in the engine.
