(Geometry: great circle distance) The great circle distance is the distance between two points on the surface of a sphere. Let (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) be the geographi- cal latitude and longitude of two points. The great circle distance between the two points can be computed using the following formula: d = radius * arccos(sin(x1) * sin(x2) + cos(x1) * cos(x2) * cos(y1 - y2)) Write a program that prompts the user to enter the latitude and longitude of two points on the earth in degrees and displays its great circle distance. The average earth radius is 6,378.1 km. The latitude and longitude degrees in the formula are for north and west. Use negative to indicate south and east degrees.
(Science: calculating energy) Write a program that calculates the energy needed to heat water from an initial temperature to a final temperature. Your program should prompt the user to enter the amount of water in kilograms and the initial and final temperatures of the water. The formula to compute the energy is Q = M * (finalTemperature – initialTemperature) * 4184 where M is the weight of water in kilograms, temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and energy Q is measured in joules.
Assuming there are no deposits other than the original investment, the balance in a saving account after one year may be calculated as
Amount=Principal * (1+ Rate / T)T
principal -balance in the saving account,
Rate -the interest rate,
T - number of times the interest is compounded during a year.
Write a program that asks for :
the principal, the interest rate, and the number of times the interest is compounded. It should display a report similar to
Interest Rate: 4.25%
Times Compounded: 12
Principal: $ 1000.00
Interest: $ 43.34
Amount in Savings: $ 1043.34

- Scientists measure an object's mass in kilograms and its weight in Newtons. If you know the amount of mass of an object, you can calculate it's weight in Newtons with the following formula: Design a program that asks the user to enter an object's mass, and then calculates its weight. If the object weighs more than 1,000 Newtons, display a message indicating that it is too heavy. If the object weighs less than 10 Newtons, display a message indicating that it is too light.

You can calculate the amount of time it takes sound to travel in air with the following formula: Time = Distance / 1,100 You can calculate the amount of time it takes sound to travel in water with the following formula: Time = Distance / 4,900 You can calculate the amount of time it takes sound to travel in steel with the following formula: Time = Distance / 16,400arrow_forwardSummary During winter when it is very cold, typically, everyone would like to know the windchill factor, especially, before going out. Meteorologists use the following formula to compute the windchill factor, W: W = 35.74 + 0.6215 × T - 35.75 × V0.16 + 0.4275 × T × V0.16 where V is the wind speed in miles per hour and T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Instructions Write a program that prompts the user to input the wind speed in miles per hour, and the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The program then outputs the current temperature and the windchill factor. Your program must contain at least two functions: one to get the user input and the other to determine the windchill factor.arrow_forward
