AI Generated Solution

To find the amount of energy possessed by the bicycle rider and his bicycle, we need to calculate the kinetic energy of the system. Here’s how to do it step by step: ### Step 1: Identify the mass and velocity - The total mass of the bicycle rider and the bicycle is given as \( m = 80 \, \text{kg} \). - The constant speed at which the bicycle rider is pedaling is \( v = 8 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 2: Write the formula for kinetic energy - The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is given by: ...
