Suppose a 1.45 × 105-kg airplane has engines that produce 120 MW of power.

Part (a) How many seconds would it take the airplane to reach a speed of 225 m/s and an altitude of 14.5 km, if air resistance were negligible?

Part (b) How much power did the plane use, in megawatts, if this process actually took 975 s?

Part (c) Using the power consumption from part (b), what would be the magnitude of the average force, in newtons, of the air resistance if the airplane took 1300 s and traveled in a straight line at a constant acceleration to the specified altitude?
