Answer:

  14 m/s

Explanation:

We assume that all of the work performed is translated to kinetic energy:

  KE = 1/2mv² . . . . m represents mass

  v = √(2KE/m) . . . . m represents mass

  = √(2(17,640J/180 kg)) = √(196 m²/s²) . . . . m represents meters

  v = 14 m/s

The speed of the bike is about 14 meters per second.
