1. Figure 1

The sections of the graph from \(t = 0\) to \(t = 3\), and from \(t = 3\) to \(t = 7\), are straight lines. The section from \(t = 3\) to \(t = 7\) is parallel to the \(t\)-axis. State what can be deduced about the motion of the cyclist from the fact that
  1. the graph from \(t = 0\) to \(t = 3\) is a straight line,
  2. the graph from \(t = 3\) to \(t = 7\) is parallel to the \(t\)-axis.
  3. Find the distance travelled by the cyclist during this 7 s period.
