Answer:
The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of aircraft = 10000 kg
Speed = 620 km/h = 172.22 m/s
Altitude = 10 km = 1000 m
We calculate the change in potential energy





For g = 10 m/s²,
The change in potential energy will be 1000 MJ.
We calculate the change in kinetic energy





For g = 10 m/s²,
The change in kinetic energy will be 150 MJ.
Hence, The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.
As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.
