A vehicle with a mass of 1500 kg begins its ascent from rest up a hill with an inclination percentage of 10% (for 100 meters of horizontal displacement there is a displacement of 10 meters in the vertical). If the vehicle reaches a speed of 60 km/h after traveling 100 m along the hill with constant acceleration, determine the power (in kW) that the motor must supply to the wheels when this speed is reached. Assume that the efficiency of the transmission of power from the engine to the wheels is ε = 0.89.
