14 Here is a speed-time graph.

Speed-time graph: speed (m/s) from 0 to 6 against time (t seconds) from 0 to 10; the curve starts at (0, 0), rises to a maximum of just over 4 at about t = 4.5 and returns to 0 at t = 9
(a) Work out an estimate of the gradient of the graph at \(t = 2\) (3)
(b) What does the area under the graph represent? (1)
