when a jumbo jet lands, there is a decrease in both its kinetic and potential energy. where does the energy go

Answer 1

turns to heat or something

Answer 2

The energy goes off as heat. The brakes heat up; the air heats up. The energy is disapated as friction. The potential energy first gets converted to kinetic, as the plane speeds up as it descends...... a major problem with jets is slowing them down when they land....that's why there are speed brakes, which are the big wing sections which angle up as the plane touches down. The kinetic then is disapated as heat.

Answer 3

In order to land the plane lower flaps and activate air breaks, this will transfer energy to the air around it (turbulence). when the plane hit the ground it activates reverse power and wheels breaks, the reverse power also passes the energy to the air and the wheels breaks in best case transfers to breaks heat in worst case the rubber will be ripped and the asphalt will get heat.

Answer 4

DIssipated in heat in the brakes, from the reverse thruster devices on the engines and from friction with the extended wing flaps.

Answer 5

It is released as rubber on the tarmac, and heat.

Answer 6

Heat, sound, and rubber.

Answer 7

dissipates as heat (and sound)
