Problem

A cyclist travels in a straight line with the following velocities: • 6 m/s6\,\text{m/s} for the first 4 s4\,\text{s}, • 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} for the next 3 s3\,\text{s}, • −4 m/s-4\,\text{m/s} for the final 5 s5\,\text{s} (the negative sign indicates motion in the opposite direction). Calculate the net displacement of the cyclist after the entire 12 s12\,\text{s} interval.
