3 A cyclist starts from rest and takes 10 seconds to accelerate at a constant rate up to a speed of \(15 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). After travelling at this speed for 20 seconds, the cyclist then decelerates to rest at a constant rate over the next 5 seconds.
  1. Sketch a velocity-time graph for the motion.
  2. Calculate the distance travelled by the cyclist.
