Which would be the most reliable source of information to use for a history report

Explanation:

Encyclopedias are written by an academic source, which transform them in a reliable scholarly source.

On the other hand, a magazina article is written and corrected by an editorial which is not academic in most of the cases. Similarly, a newspaper is based in editors about different topic outside the academica environment.

Finally, a TV show is the least trustworthy of the choices, because must of the time, TV shows are made to just entertain to increase their raitings.

Therefore, the right answer is an encyclopedia.

it would be kevlar ^^

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.
