1. A cyclist travels for 12 min along a straight road. During the first 3.0 min of her trip, she maintains a uniform acceleration of 0.1 m/s². She then travels at constant velocity for the next 6.0 min. Next, she accelerates opposite to the motion at a constant rate so that she comes to a rest 3.0 min later.
