Calculate the power output (expressed in watts) for a subject who performed ten minutes of cycle ergometer exercise at: Resistance on the flywheel: 20 N Cranking speed: 60 rpm Distance traveled per revolution: 6 meters
Added by Carolyn B.

Step 1
The work done is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance traveled. The force applied can be calculated using the resistance on the flywheel, which is given as 20 N. The distance traveled per revolution is given as 6 meters. Since the cranking speed Show more…

Power Output: In each case, find your average power in watts. Assume that riding a bike burns 100 Calories per mile, If you ride at a speed of 20 miles per hour; what is your average power output; in watts?

An automobile travels $60 \mathrm{km}$ in 50 minutes, doing $30 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{J}$ of work against outside forces (air resistance and rolling resistance) in the process. What is the automobile's average power output in watts?

What is the work required to cycle 60 revolutions with a resistance setting of 4kp on a Monark cycle ergometer? (Hint: 1 pedal revolution = 6m; 1kp = 10 N) 2. What is the power output if this was done in 2 minutes? Challenge question: What combination of cadence (rev/min) and weight (kp) would be needed for an individual to cycle at 60 W, 150 W, and 300 W? there are multiple answers that apply here (think practically with what is actually possible).
