Just after taking off, the aeroplane continues to accelerate as it gains height. State two forms of energy that increase during this time.

The two forms of energy that increase during the time after take off are;

1) The kinetic energy KE

1) The potential energy PE

Explanation:

1) Given that the airplane is accelerating, we have that the velocity, v, of the airplane is increasing, such that the we have the kinetic energy, KE, for a given mass, m, of the airplane increasing as follows;

KE₂ = 1/2×m×v₂² > KE₁ = 1/2×m×v₁²

2) Also, as the height, h, of the airplane increases during the ascent, we have that the potential energy increasing along side as follows;

PE₂ = m × g × h₂ > PE₁ = m × g × h₁

Therefore, the two forms of energy that increase during the time after take off are the kinetic  and the potential  energy.
