    Conservation of mechanical energy: Cyclist up a hill

    W = (80kg*9.8m/s)*(5.90m/2pi.16) = 1160 J ?? I am not understanding at all. I can believe I am being stumped by this when I could get the complete total for #1

    Conservation of mechanical energy: Cyclist up a hill

    Ack!. The first attempt to post I had all the units. I hurridly relaid it out. 8.00 Degrees 115m 36.0 cm Breaks down into .36 m with a radii of .16 m 80.0 kg 5.90 m and the onyl equation I can assume for 2 is 1/2 mv^2+mgy

    Conservation of mechanical energy: Cyclist up a hill

    Homework Statement A cyclist intends to cycle up a 8.00 hill whose vertical height is 115 . The pedals turn in a circle of diameter 36.0 . 1:Assuming the mass of bicycle plus person is 80.0 , calculate how much work must be done against gravity. 2: If each complete revolution of the...
