Metabolic power is the rate at which your body "burns" fuel to power your activities. for many activities, your body is roughly 25% efficient at converting the chemical energy of food into mechanical energy. what is the cyclist's metabolic power while cycling at 7.3 m/s? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. pmp m =

Metabolic power 420.138 W

Explanation:

Given data:

considering drag coefficient Cd =  0.9

Assuming cross section of cyclist A = 0.50 m^2

Take density of air ρ = 1.2 kg/m3

We know that drag force is given as

D = 14.388 N

hence metabolic power is given as

Metabolic power

                          = 420.138 W

0.93xc=0.93x3x10^8m/s
