The Earth takes very nearly (365 and 1/4) days to go around the sun.

If our calendar always had 365 days, then the year would end and re-start
too soon, and the beginning of Spring (and every other season) would
eventually drift into the months after March.

If our calendar always had 366 days, then the year would end and re-start
too late, and the beginning of Spring (and every other season) would
eventually drift into the months before March.

We can't make calendars with an extra quarter-day in each year. But we
keep them lined up with the real year by saving up the quarters, and adding
one full day to the calendar every 4 years.

Which of the following describes deposition?

alexgriva [62]

Deposition is geological process of sediments, soil and rocks that are added to land-form or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited. Technically Building up layers of sediment.

A baby crawls from x=1.0m to x=4.25m at an average velocity of 0.226 m/s. How much time did it take? (Unit=s)

postnew [5]

From x = 1.0 m to x = 4.25 m, displacement = 3.25 m

Average velocity of crawling of baby = 0.226 m/s

We know that time taken = Displacement/Time

= $\frac{3.25}{0.226}$

= 14.38 seconds

So, the baby will take a time of 14.38 seconds from x=1.0m to x=4.25m at an average velocity of 0.226 m/s.

If a ball is thrown straight up, where is its acceleration the

avanturin [10]

Answer:

When a ball is thrown up acceleration is same throughout the journey and velocity is zero at its maximum height. 

Explanation:

The movement of a ball thrown up is completely under the influence of gravity. Thus the only acceleration it can have is the acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8 m/s$ . Hence, at every point in the upward and downward journey its acceleration will be equal to g.

At the maximum height the velocity of the ball will be zero since it is momentarily at rest.
