Power during takeoff

The aircraft weighing 3.5 tons will disembark 1 km in 1 minute after takeoff and reach a speed of 290 km/h. Find the average power of its engines during this time.

Final Answer:

P =  761.52 kW

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} m=3.5\text{t}\to \text{kg}=3.5\cdot 1000\text{kg}=3500\text{kg} \\ h=1\text{km}\to \text{m}=1\cdot 1000\text{m}=1000\text{m} \\ v=290\text{km/h}\to \text{m/s}=290:3.6\text{m/s}=80.55556\text{m/s} \\ t=1\text{min}\to \text{s}=1\cdot 60\text{s}=60\text{s} \\ g=9.81{\text{m/s}}^2 \\ {E}_1=m\cdot g\cdot h=3500\cdot 9.81\cdot 1000=34335000\text{J} \\ {E}_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v^2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 3500\cdot 80.5556^2\doteq 11356095.679\text{J} \\ W=E_1+E_2=34335000+11356095.679\doteq 45691095.679\text{J} \\ {P}_1=W/t=45691095.679/60\doteq 761518.2613\text{W} \\ P=P_1\to \text{kW}=P_1:1000\text{kW}=761518.2613:1000\text{kW}=761.52\text{kW}=761.52\text{kW} \end{gathered}$$
