TopicWork, energy and Power 1

5 A cyclist and her bicycle have a combined mass of 70 kg . The cyclist ascends a straight hill \(A B\) of constant slope, starting from rest at \(A\) and reaching a speed of \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at \(B\). The level of \(B\) is 6 m above the level of \(A\). For the cyclist's motion from \(A\) to \(B\), find
  1. the increase in kinetic energy,
  2. the increase in gravitational potential energy. During the ascent the resistance to motion is constant and has magnitude 60 N . The work done by the cyclist in moving from \(A\) to \(B\) is 8000 J .
  3. Calculate the distance \(A B\).
