A plane is accelerating along a runway before take off. a) Which energy store is energy transferred from as the plane accelerates? Elastic potential Chemical Gravitational potential Electrostatic Kinetic Magnetic Nuclear b) Which one of the following energy stores is energy mostly transferred to? Elastic potential Chemical Gravitational potential Electrostatic Kinetic Magnetic Nuclear

Answer 1

a) Chemical b) Kinetic

Answer 2

## Step1: Firstly, we consider part a of the question and discuss about the source of energy for the accelerating plane. We know that in conventional airplanes, propulsion is achieved by the reaction force produced from burning fuel, which is a chemical process. Therefore, it's safe to assume that the energy transferred comes from the 'Chemical' energy store when the plane is accelerating. ## Step2: For the second part b of the question, we need to identify where this energy obtained from the chemical store is mostly transferred to. We know that a moving plane burns fuel to increase or maintain its velocity, the energy expended in maintaining or increasing motion is generally stored in the kinetic energy store. Hence, we can conclude that the plane's kinetic store receives the majority of energy transfer from the chemical store.
