What is the power of a 50 kg bicyclist that can climb a hill 20 m high in 100 sec? a) 98 watts b) 100 watts c) 1 x 10 5 watts d) 9.8 x 10 5 watts
A cyclist delivers $150 \mathrm{W}$ of power to her bicycle, while her metabolic rate is 1000 W. What is her body's bicycling energy efficiency?
If 10% of a 50-kg rock climber’s total energy expenditure goes into the gravitational energy change when climbing a 100-m vertical slope, what is the climber’s average metabolic rate during the climb if it takes her 10 min to complete the climb? (a) 8 W (b) 80 W (c) 500 W (d) 700 W (e) 800 W
