Answer:

Work = 2160 J

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we know that work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the cyclist.

As the cyclist is initially moving at speed 8 m/s and after some time his speed changes to 10 m/s

So here we can say that

final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy = work done

W = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

now by plug in all values

W = \frac{1}{2}(120)(10^2 - 8^2)

W = 2160 J

so work done by cyclist will be 2160 J

W=∆KE

KE=1/2m∆v^2

=1/2*120*(10-8) ^2

=240j
