(a) How long (in s) would it take a 1.00 ✕ 105 kgairplane with engines that produce of 100 MW of power to reach aspeed of 200 m/s and an altitude of 12.0 km if air resistance werenegligible?

_? s

(b) If it actually takes 950 s, what is the power applied, inmegawatts?

_? MW

(c)Given this power, what is the average force (in kN) of airresistance if the airplane takes 1200 s? (Hint: You must find thedistance the plane travels in 1200 s assuming constantacceleration.)

_? kN
