When a rattlesnake strikes, its head accelerates from rest to a speed of 22 m/s in 0.48 seconds. Assume for simplicity that the only moving part of the snake is its head of mass 170 g. How much (average) power does the rattlesnake need to accelerate its head that fast? Answer in units of W.

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)
