Interpret linear motion graphs to describe the motion of an object, referring to the - intercepts, gradients and uncertainties (using minimum and maximum lines of best fit) of displacement–time and velocity–time graphs - areas under velocity–time and acceleration–time graphs using simple geometry.

A student collects experimental data for an object moving in a straight line and plots velocity \(v\) (m/s) versus time \(t\) (s). The student draws a line of best fit and determines maximum and minimum gradient lines to estimate uncertainty. Which statement correctly interprets a feature of this motion graph?

The velocity–time graph shows the motion of a cyclist along a straight road. What physical quantity is represented by the shaded area under the graph between \( t = 2.0\,\text{s} \) and \( t = 6.0\,\text{s} \)?
