Explanation:

According to International Astronomical union a planet must satisfy the following three conditions-

1. It should orbit around sun(parent star).

2. It should have enough gravity to maintain almost spherical shape.

3. It should have cleared its neighbourhood around its orbit.

Pluto does not fulfill the third criteria and hence it has been re-categorized as dwarf planet.

Answer:

Lens of the human Eye is a important and one of that most complex sense organ.

Explanation:

Lens of the human eye it helps that in visualizing light and color perception and objects , glance on the human eye structure and function.

Sense organs are much pretty similar to the camera they  help us see the objects clear.

A human eye is the 2.3 cm in diameter and all filled some fluid, and there are following parts in eye:-  cornea,  Retina , Lens ,Pupil , optic nerves.

cornea :- the cornea is the first transparent part of is called cornea, enters the light through the cornea.

Retina :-it is light sensitive layer that consists of nerve cells,then transmitted to the brain through nerves.

Lens:- behind the pupil there is a transparent structure called lens,it shape focus light on the retina.

Pupil:-it control the value of light that enters the human eye.

Optic nerves is are the two types :- (1) cones (2) Rods .

Dawn and Timothy are sailboating in Lake Obewon. Starting from rest near the shore, they accelerate with a uniform acceleration
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The value is s =63.18 \  m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The uniform  acceleration is   a =  0.39 \ m/s^2

   The time considered is t =  18 \  seconds

Generally the from kinematic equation we have that

          s =  ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Given that the boat started from rest , the initial velocity is  u =  0  m/s  

So

       s =  0 * 18 + \frac{1}{2} *0.39 * 18^2

=>      s =63.18 \  m
