The richter scale is used to determine how strong the earthquake is (magnitude) of the earthquake. it touches the ground and feels the earth shaking. with the momentum of the earth shaking the device the needle on the device moves creating a wave looking line. according to the theory of plate tectonics, what happens at transform, divergent and convergent boundaries? on which of these boundary types would a volcano most likely take place, and why?

answer: good job it's all correct !

explanation:

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
