Question

Calculate the percentage increase in speed of the cyclist when the power output changes from 200 W to 300 W.

Answer 1

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial power = 200W

Final power = 300W

Increment = 300 - 200 = 100W

percentage increase = increment/initial power * 100

percentage increase = 100/200 * 100%

percentage increase = 0.5 * 100

percentage increase = 50%

Hence the percentage increase in speed is 50%
