Answer:
Friction always acts opposite to the motion.
Answer
given,
height of Alpe d'Huez = 1100-m
time = 37.5 min
mass of the rider and his bike = 65 Kg
the metabolic power to ride = 700 W
U = m g y
U = 65 x 9.8 x 1100
U = 700700 J
since efficiency is 25%





b) 

P = 1245.68 W
Answer:

Explanation:
As we know that the angular acceleration of the wheel due to friction is constant
so we can use kinematics

so we have



now time required to completely stop the wheel is given as



now time required to stop the wheel is given as


Answer:
Explanation:
Use the one-dimensional equation:
which says that the final velocity of a falling object is equal to its initial velocity times the acceleration of gravity times the time it takes to fall. We have the final velocity, -14.5 (negative because its direction is down and down is negative), initial velocity is 0 (because it was held still by someone before it was dropped), and acceleration is -9.8 (negative again, because direction is down while acceleration increases). Filling in:
-14.5 = 0 - 9.8t and
-14.5 = -9.8t so
t = 1.5 seconds
