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.

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou
IceJOKER [234]

The potential energy is 4.10 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is given by

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the lemming in this problem we have

m = 0.078 kg is its mass

h = 5.36 m is the height above the ground

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation,

U=(0.078)(9.8)(5.36)=4.10 J

There are clouds forming over Florida. The temperatures in the clouds and in the air are above freezing. Which form of precipita
PtichkaEL [24]

The type of precipitation expected to occur in Florida is "Rain" when the temperatures of air and clouds are above freezing point.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Under certain conditions, water droplets get freezes due to low temperatures. However, if the temperature of the air beneath the cloud is higher than the freezing point 32°F (0°C), the frozen start to meltdown due to high temperature and falls as raindrops on the surface of the earth. Hence Rain form of precipitation is expected to occur in Florida when the temperature of the cloud and air is above freezing.
