1 A cyclist travels along a straight horizontal road. The total mass of the cyclist and her bicycle is 80 kg and the resistance to motion is a constant 60 N .
  1. The cyclist travels at a constant speed working at a constant rate of 480 W . Find the speed at which she travels.
  2. The cyclist now instantaneously increases her power to 600 W . After travelling at this power for 14.2 s her speed reaches \(9.4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Find the distance travelled at this power.
