MCQ
When an aeroplane takes off from the ground:
  • A
    Kinetic energy increases and Potential energy decreases
  • B
    Potential energy increases and Kinetic energy remains constant
  • C
    Both Kinetic energy and Potential energy remain constant
  • Both Kinetic energy and Potential energy increase

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both Kinetic energy and Potential energy increase
Kinetic energy is due to the motion of the object and potential energy is due to relative elevation.
So as the plane takes off height increases and also its speed increase,
so both kinetic and potential energy increases.
Kinetic energy$=\frac{1}{2}\text{min}^2$
Potential energy $= \ce{mgH}$

A mass of $2.0\, kg$ is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground as shown in the figure. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible.  When pressed slightly and released the mass executes a simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $200\, N/m.$ What should be the minimum amplitude of the motion so that the mass gets detached from the pan (take $g = 10 m/s^2$). 
A horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis through its centre makes $90$ revolutions per minute. A small piece of wax of mass $m$ falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance $r$ from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute reduce to $60$ , then the moment of inertia of the disc is .........
