These tasks: uniform movement; t (duration of the cyclist’s movement) = 10 min (1/6 h; 600 s); S (distance traveled by the cyclist) = 3 km (3 * 10 ^ 3 m).

1) Cyclist speed in m / s: V = S / t = 3 * 10 ^ 3/600 = 5 m / s.

2) Cyclist speed in km / h: V = S / t = 3 / (1/6) = 3 * 6 = 18 km / h.

Answer: The cyclist traveled 3 km at a speed of 5 m / s or 18 km / h.
