Question
An 1.8 x 10³ kg airplane starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 65 m/s in 8.0 s. Determine the power produced by the plane’s engine if the aircraft feels a 1.0 x 10³ N resistance force.

Answer:
P = 5.1 x 10^5 W
Explanation:
Power is the rate of doing work
The work will overcome friction and increase the kinetic energy
The distance traveled is d = ½at² = ½(v/t)t² = ½vt
W = ½mv² + Fd
W = ½(1800)65² + 1000(½(65)(8.0)) = 4,062,500 J
4,062,500 J / 8.0 s = 507,812.5 = 5.1 x 10^5 W
