Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward application of the work-energy principle where work done equals the area under a force-distance graph. It's a 1-mark multiple choice question requiring only recognition of the concept and basic area calculation (likely a trapezium or simple shape), making it significantly easier than average A-level questions.
The graph shows the resistance force experienced by a cyclist over the first 20 metres of a bicycle ride.
