Step 1
Given: Mass (m) = 50 kg Height (h) = 20 m Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2 Work (W) = mgh Show more…

A bicyclist coasts down a 9.0 ? hill at a steady speed of 5.0 m/s . then Assuming a total mass of 95 kg (bicycle plus rider), what must be the cyclist's power output to climb the same hill at the same speed? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
