About how far apart must you hold your hands for them to be separated by 1.6 nano-light-second (the distance light travels in 1.6 ns)? Assume that the speed of light is 2.998*108 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)
