The newton is defined as the: A. Force of gravity acting on a one kilogram object at Earth's surface.
B. Speed of an object when under the influence of Earth's gravitational field
C. Force that can give a 1-kilogram mass an acceleration of 1m/sec squared.
D. Mass of an object that is accelerated at rate 1m/sec squared.

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 (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
