Physics 152 HW #8

 

1.  Assuming that a professional cyclist can work at a steady rate of 500 watts, find approximately how fast he can go on level ground.  State your assumptions. If a normal person can work at 200 watts, what cycling speed does that correspond to?  Can you come up with any estimate of how fast a professional swimmer should be able to swim?
