Kinetic Energy = 1/2 m V2
At 2 m/s, the bicycle's KE is (1/2 x 10 x 4) = 20 joules.
At 3 m/s, its KE is (1/2 x 10 x 9) = 45 joules.
The difference in kinetic energy at the higher speed is (45 - 20) = 25 joules.
That's the energy (work) that has to come from somewhere in order to achieve
the higher speed.
Check:
The ratio of speeds is 3/2 = 1.5 . Since kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed,
we need the square of the ratio to check. It's (1.5)2 = 2.25 .
The ratio of the kinetic energies that we calculated at the two speeds is (45/20) = 2.25 .
That's good enough for us. Check ! and mate
375 Js (((((((((((: this is the right answer
Work done = increase in kinetic energy ie 1/2 * 10 * (3+2)(3-2) [recall a2 - b2 = (a+b)(a-b)] Hence work done = 25 joule.

The invention of the multi-speed bicycle increased the usefulness of the vehicle. It made it easier to pedal up hills giving it much more range.
