Question: (a) How long would it take a 1.50 x 10 5 -kg airplane with engines that produce 100 MW of power to reach a speed

(a) How long would it take a 1.50 x 105-kg airplane with engines that produce 100 MW of power to reach a speed of 250 m/s and an altitude of 12.0 km if air resistance were negligible?

(b) If it actually takes 900 s, what is the power?

(c) Given this power, what is the average force of air resistance if the airplane takes 1200 s?
