A man manages to ride a bicycle (total mass 95 kg), 10 m/s from rest, up a hill 230 m high against an air friction of 30 N reaching a final speed of 10 m/s at the top. If the distance to the top of the hill is 1500 m and it takes him 6 minutes to make the trip, how much power does the man put into the ride up the hill? At rest
