Figure 1 shows the speed-time graph of a cyclist moving on a straight road over a 7 s period. 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
- the graph from \(t = 0\) to \(t = 3\) is a straight line,
- the graph from \(t = 3\) to \(t = 7\) is parallel to the \(t\)-axis.
- Find the distance travelled by the cyclist during this 7 s period.
