A tandem (two-person) bicycle team must overcome a force of 165 Newtons to maintain a speed of 9.00 m/s. Find the power required per rider, assuming that each contributes equally.

The power required per rider is 742.5 W

Explanation:

Given;

force to be overcome, F = 165 Newtons

speed to be maintained, v = 9.00 m/s

Power = force x velocity

Power = 165 N x 9 m/s

Power = 1485 W

Power required per rider, assuming that each contributes equally;

Power per rider = ¹/₂ x 1485 W

Power per rider = 742.5 W

Therefore, the power required per rider, assuming that each contributes equally is 742.5 W

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2   y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x   |   y

-2 |   2

0   |   8

2   |   14
