Check your calendar and find out how many days each year has? Different types of calendars, such as Islamic calendar, Lunar cale

ndar, Gregorian calendar have different numbers of days and months in a year. Each year in the gregorian calendar except for a leap year has 365 days. A leap year occurs every four years and has an extra day in February. The extra day in a leap year is to make up for the shortfall in the other three years because the earth takes 365 1/4 days for each revolution.

The subject becomes perhaps a little less confusing when you
look at it from a slightly different angle:

The "year" is not what we print on calendars. The "year" is the
time the Earth takes to complete one revolution around the sun ...
roughly  365-1/4 days.

The moon's revolution is not tied to the Earth's revolution in any
way.  The moon does its own thing in its own orbit, and shows a
complete set of "phases" in roughly 29.53 days.

The reason so many cultures have made so many different
calendars is because no calendar can exactly match the sun
and the moon with whole numbers of days, and each calendar
tries to come close, in a different way.

Everybody's calendar does the best it can to fit the year.
And every calendar also has some structure that also goes
along with the moon ... some more closely, and some less.

The Gregorian calendar that we use does a very good job
matching the year, and then the "months" kind of give the moon
some recognition without really trying to match it closely.

The Islamic, Hebrew, and Chinese calendars begin their months
with the New Moon.  The Islamic religious calendar ... as
I understand it, but I may be wrong ... is strictly lunar.  It simply
begins a new year after 12 complete cycles of moon phases.
That makes the Islamic religious calendar about 11 days shorter
than Earth's revolution around the sun, and is the reason why
you'll notice Ramadan starting earlier every year than it did
the year before. 

The Hebrew religious calendar is also strictly lunar, but with a big
additional device that brings it into alignment with the year.
The Hebrew religious months begin right on the New Moon,
so 12 of them are about 11 days shorter than a real year.
Then ... seven times in each 19 years ... the Hebrew religious
calendar adds an extra whole month/moon, and has 13 of them
before the next year is counted.  This actually does a great job
of matching up with both the sun and the moon.  The system
has been in place for over 2000 years, and it has worked out
such that ... without any special tampering ... Passover and
Sukkot (Tabernacles) always begin on the 15th of the month,
which is always the night of the Full Moon that is nearest the
respective Equinoxes.

By the way ... Most Islamic countries use the Islamic calendar for
prayer and religious applications, and the Gregorian calendar for
trade and business dealings.  Israel and other Jewish communities
worldwide use the Hebrew calendar for prayer and religious occasions,
and the Gregorian calendar for trade and business dealings.

Explain imprinting in relation to Lorenz's geese. What would most likely have happened if the first thing the goslings saw was a
iragen [17]

If the first thing that the goslings saw was a dog, they would have followed the dog as a mother.

Imprinting refers to the process of training an animal to bond with anything it sees after birth even if it is not its real mother. Lorenz first achieved imprinting in 1935 using geese which followed him as their mother shortly after they were born.

If the geese were exposed to a dog, they could also have seen the dog as their mother and followed it accordingly shortly after birth.

Kathy tests her new sports car by racing with Stan, an experienced racer. Both start from rest, but Kathy leaves the starting li
Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) t=3.87 s :time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

(b) d=37.36 m

(c) vf₁ = 15.097 m/s : Stan's final speed

    vf₂ = 19.31 m/s : Kathy's final speed

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because Kathy and Stan move with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf= v₀+at Formula (1)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (3)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Nomenclature

d₁: Stan displacement   

t₁ :  Stan time

v₀₁: Stan initial speed

vf₁: Stan final speed

a₁:  Stan acceleration

d₂: car displacement   

t₂ : Kathy time

v₀₂: Kathy initial speed

vf₂: Kathy final speed

a₂:  Kathy acceleration

Data

v₀₁ = 0

v₀₂ = 0

a₁ = 3.1 m/s²

a₂= 4.99 m/s²

t₁ = (t₂ +1) s

Problem development

By the time Kathy overtakes Stan, the two will have traveled the same distance:

d₁ = d₂

t₁ = (t₂ +1)

We aplpy the Formula (3)

d₁ = v₀₁t₁ + (1/2)*a₁*t₁²

d₁ = 0 + (1/2)*(3.1)*t₁²

d₁ =  1.55*t₁² ; Stan's cinematic equation 1

d₂ = v₀₂t₂ + (1/2)*a₂*t₂²

d₂ = 0 + (1/2)*(4.99)*t₂²

d₂ = 2.495* t₂² : Kathy's cinematic equation 2

d₁ = d₂

equation 1 = equation 2

1.55*t₁²  =  2.495* t₂²  , We replace t₁ = (t₂ +1)

1.55* (t₂ +1) ² = 2.495* t₂²

1.55* (t₂² +2t₂+1) = 2.495* t₂²

1.55*t₂²+1.55*2t₂+1.55 = 2.495* t₂²

1.55t₂²+3.1t₂+1.55=2.495t₂²

(2.495-1.55)t₂² - 3.1t₂ - 1.55 = 0

0.905t₂² - 3.1t₂ - 1.55 = 0  Quadratic equation

Solving the quadratic equation we have:

(a) t₂ = 3.87 s : time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

(b) Distance in which Kathy catches Stan

we replace t₂ = 3.87 s in equation 2

d₂ = 2.495*( 3.87)²

d₂ = 37.36 m

(c) Speeds of both cars at the instant  Kathy overtakes Stan

We apply the Formula (1)

vf₁= v₀₁+a₁t₁    t₁ =( t₂+1 ) s=( 3.87 + 1 ) s = 4.87 s

vf₁= 0+3.1* 4.87

vf₁ = 15.097 m/s : Stan's final speed

vf₂ = v₀₂+a₂ t₂  

vf₂ =0+4.99* 3.87

vf₂ = 19.31 m/s : Kathy's final speed

How does visible light interact with objects to produce the colors we see?​
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Visible light when all put together is white. When objects appear to be, lets say, red, it would be the only color not absorbed by that object. same goes with all other colors. So black objects absorb all colors (not 100%) and that is why black clothing gets hotter, it simply absorbs all incoming light, as apposed to white that will reflect the colors back, making all of them together appear white. Hope this helps, not the best at explaining things.
