One way to monitor global warming is to measure the average temperature of the ocean. researchers are doing this by measuring the time it takes sound pulses to travel underwater over large distances. at a depth of 1000 m, where ocean temperatures hold steady near 4∘c, the average sound speed is 1480m/s. it's known from laboratory measurements that the sound speed increases 4.0m/s for every 1.0∘c increase in temperature. in one experiment, where sounds generated near california are detected in the south pacific, the sound waves travel 7800 km .
if the smallest time change that can be reliably detected is 1.0 s, what is the smallest change in average temperature that can be measured? express your answer with the appropriate units.

Ablue car pulls away from a red stop-light just after it has turned green with a constant acceleration of 0.5 m/s 2 . a green car arrives at the position of the stop-light 6.5 s after the light had turned green. if t = 0 when the light turns green, at what time does the green car catch the blue car if the green car maintains the slowest constant speed necessary to catch up to the blue car? answer in units of s.
