Acar is stopped at an entrance ramp to a freeway; its driver is preparing to merge. at a certain moment while stopped, this driver observes a platoon of vehicles a distance x0 upstream and initiates the merge maneuver. the platoon approaches the entrance ramp at a constant speed v. the stopped car can accelerate from speed 0 to v at uniform acceleration rate a. find the latest time at which the stopped car can safely start the merge maneuver; i. e., derive an expression for the "latest safe start time" in terms of the variables x0, v and a. assume this latest time enables the platoon to maintain its constant speed and "just touch" the merging car's trajectory. ignore the physical dimensions of the car.

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
