A cyclist is capable of generating an average power of 3kW during a 4km speed trial. His aerodynamic suit and position on the cycle reduce resistive forces to 180N.
What is the approximate time achieved in the speed trial?

A. 140s B. 240s C. 1300s D. 2200s

we know P = F x V
which can be written as P = (F x d)/ t
putting the given data

3 x 1000 = (180 x 4 x 1000)/ t
which gives t = (180 x 4 x 1000)/(3000 ) = 240 s
