Chapter 19, Problem 16ICA

Write a function named CountDown that accepts a total time T in seconds and displays the time remaining after half of the previously displayed time has elapsed as described below. The function should also accept an integer Steps as also described below.

The function should immediately display the value of T, and then wait T/2 seconds before displaying T/2. It should then wait T/4 seconds and display T/4, etc. This should continue until only 1/2Steps of the original time remains, at which point it waits for this remaining time, displays a zero, and emits an audio tone.

It is suggested that you look up the pause function and the beep function.

Example: CountDown (60, 6) displays the following by an audio tone.

60 Displayed immediately
30 Displayed 30 seconds later
15 Displayed 15 seconds later
7.5000 Displayed 7.5 seconds later
3.7500 etc.
1.8750 etc.
0.9375 etc.
0 Displayed 0.9375 seconds later accompanied by a beep

Use the attached graph to answer the follwing questions a. Write an equation that gives the position with respect to time (use specific quantities) b. Write an equation that gives the velocity with respect to time (use specific quantities) c. Draw a velocity over time graph for this motion from t=0 to t=12s.
Using graphical method solve this problem:  Suppose you first walk A in a direction of B west of north then C in a direction D south of west. You rest for 20 minutes and started to compute the distance you traveled. Take A, B, C and D found in the table below. (You may use scale such as 1cm = 2m in your drawing)    A. Sketch the problem in a Cartesian plane.  B. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position (resultant R)?   C. What is the angle between AC ?  D. What is the angle between your first walk A to the resultant R?
