Question
A bicyclist starting from rest applies a force of F = 239 N to ride his bicycle across flat ground for a distance of d = 210 m before encountering a hill making an angle of θ = 17 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The bicycle and rider have a mass of m = 120 kg combined. In this problem, you can ignore air resistance and other losses due to friction.
How much work, W in joules, did the rider do before reaching the hill?
What is the bicycle's speed, v in m/s, just before the hill?
If the cyclist starts coasting at the bottom of the hill, what distance, di in meters, does the bike travel up the incline?
