Aplane drops a hamper of medical supplies from a height of 3250 m during a practice run over the ocean. the plane’s horizontal velocity was 129 m/s at the instant the hamper was dropped. what is the magnitude of the overall velocity of the hamper at the instant it strikes the surface of the ocean? the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . answer in units of m/s.

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)
