A commercial Boeing 737-800 airplane could seat 160 passengers. It takes off with to weight of 175,000 lbs from the Phoenix airport and eventually achieves its cruising spe of 550 mph (miles per hour) at an altitude of 30,000 ft. For g = 9.78 m/s², determine change in kinetic energy and change in potential energy for the airplane, each in kJ. Ple convert the English unit to Sl unit first for each physical quantity.
