Answer to Question #125531 in Physics for Niall

Question

A cyclist is riding a bicycle at a steady velocity of 12 m/s. The cyclist and bicycle have a total mass of 68 kg. The cyclist starts to cycle again. The cyclist does 1600 J of useful work to travel 28 m. Choose the relevant formula which allows the average force the cyclist exerts to be found. Calculate the average force in newtons that the cyclist exerts

Answer 1

$$F=\frac{W}{s}\\F=\frac{1600}{28}=57\ N$$
