A mass of 2.8 kg lies on a frictionless table, pulled by another mass of 4.9 kg under the
influence of Earth's gravity.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
2.8 kg
4.9 kg
What is the magnitude of the acceleration
a of the two masses?
Answer in units of m/s2.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)
