The direction of rotation of the merry-go-round

Q1. While her kid brother is on a wooden horse at the edge of a merry-go-round, Sheila rides her bicycle parallel to its edge. The wooden horses have a tangential speed of 5 m/s. Sheila rides at 4 m/s. The radius of the merry-go-round is 9 m. At what time intervals does Sheila encounter her brother, if she rides opposite to the direction of rotation of the merry-go-round?

Q2. Some athletes can put out as much as 800 watts in short bursts. If you could sustain such energy output long enough to reach the top of a mountain, how much time would it take you to get there from the valley, 3000 meters below the peak? So how does power relate to time?
