Create a written algorithm and flowchart to determine if a material is in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state given the temperature. The algorithm should acquire the name of the material, its freezing and boiling temperatures, and the actual temperature of the material from the user.
Write an algorithm that determines the state of a material at a given temperature for user specified material, freezing point and boiling point.
Explanation of Solution
Known:
- If the temperature is below freezing point, the material is in solid state.
- If the temperature is above the boiling point, the material is in gaseous state.
Unknown:
- The type of the material.
- The freezing point of the material.
- The boiling point of the material.
Assumptions:
- Assume that the interpreter of the algorithm will input the type of material, freezing point of the material, boiling point of the material and the temperature of the material.
Algorithm:
- Input the type of material, the numerical value of freezing point of the material, boiling point of the material and the temperature of the material.
- Ask if the temperature of the material is less than the freezing point.
-
- a. If yes, state of the material is Solid.
- b. If no, ask if the temperature of the material is greater than the boiling point.
- 1. If yes, the state of the material is Gas.
- 2. If no, the state of the material is Liquid.
- Display the type of the material and the state of the material at the given temperature.
- End the process.
Rules for creating a proper linear flowchart are as follows.
- The flowchart contains START rectangle to mention the beginning of a process.
- All the actions must be mentioned within rectangles.
- Connection between the blocks must be mentioned with a one-directional arrow.
- The flowchart contains END rectangle to mention the end of a process.
Flowchart to determine the state of a material is given in Figure 1.
Conclusion:
Hence, the algorithm and the flowchart that determines the state of a material at a given temperature are created.

- Recall the discussion on spacecraft from the chapter opener. The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface. The force of gravity on the rocket is given by F(d)=−mk/d2, where m is the mass of the rocket, d is the distance of the rocket from the center of Earth, and k is a constant. 172. As the rocket travels away from Earth’s surface, there is a distance D where the rocket sheds some of its mass, since it no longer needs the excess fuel storage. We can write this function as F(d)=⎨(−m↓1 k / d^2) if d < D                                          (−m↓2 k / d^2) if d ≥ D Is there a D value such that this function is continuous, assuming m1≠m2?arrow_forwardNo need guideline answer ok. Solve both write RRL.

- Use MATLABarrow_forwardWe have designed a divide-and-conquer algorithm that runs on an input of size n. This algorithm works by spending O(1) time splitting the problem in half, then does a recursive call on each half, then spends O(n2 ) time combining the solutions to the recursive calls. On small inputs, the algorithm takes a constant amount of time. We want to see how long this algorithm takes, in terms of n to perform the task. (a) First, write a recurrence relation that corresponds to the time-complexity of the above divide and conquer algorithm. (b) Then, solve the relation to come with the worst-case time taken for the algorithm. Please show all work in depth.arrow_forwardAttached file please, answer is already given.

- Hi, I need help with the first part of the problem below because I'm very confused about how P1 and P2 should be calculated. If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon?
