Shipping Charges
The Fast Freight Shipping Company charges the following rates:
| Weight of Package (in Kilograms) | Rate per 500 Miles Shipped |
| 2 kg or less | $1.10 |
| Over 2 kg but not more than 6 kg | $2.20 |
| Over 6 kg but not more than 10 kg | $3.70 |
| Over 10 kg but not more than 20 kg | $4.80 |
Write a
Input Validation: Do not accept values of 0 or less for the weight of the package. Do not accept weights of more than 20 kg (this is the maximum weight the company will ship). Do not accept distances of less than 10 miles or more than 3,000 miles. These are the company's minimum and maximum shipping distances.

(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.
(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.
Time CalculatorWrite a program that asks the user to enter a number of seconds.-There are 60 seconds in a minute. If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 60, the program should display the number of minutes and leftover seconds in that many seconds.-There are 3,600 seconds in an hour. If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 3,600, the program should display the number of hours, minutes, and leftover seconds in that many seconds.-There are 86,400 seconds in a day. If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 86,400, the program should display the number of days, hours, minutes, and leftover seconds in that many seconds.

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: $ 1043.34arrow_forwardCoin Converter Lab Description Write a program that asks the user to enter an amount of money in the format of dollars and remaining cents. The program should calculate and print the minimum number of coins (quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies) that are equivalent to the given amount.Hint: In order to find the minimum number of coins, first find the maximum number of quarters that fit in the given amount of money, then find the maximum number of dimes that fit in the remaining amount, and so on.

Typically, the minimum selling price of the car is the cost of the car plus $200 and the maximum selling price is the cost of the car and $2,000. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the salesperson’s fixed commission, the percentage of the commission, the purchasing cost of the car, the minimum and the maximum amount to be added to the purchasing cost to determine the minimum and the maximum selling price, and outputs minimum and maximum selling price of the car and the salesperson's commission range. As a suggestion, pay particular attention to the formulas would your being requested. I would recommend that you perform the calculations on paper or in Excel prior to programming the solution.

- Guess The Number Game: write a program that will ask the user to guess a secret numberrandomly generated by your program between 1-10. Player have 3 trials to guess the number.After each trial, you have to inform the user, either he/she has guessed it correctly or not, andthe remaining trials to guess the number. In each trial your program should generate a newrandom number. If user guess at least twice correctly, then shows the message, “you won by 2-1” and vice versa for losing.When game is over, ask the user to play again: If the user types "yes", the game start again.else stop the game.arrow_forward(Calculating Credit Limits) Collecting money becomes increasingly difficult during periods of recession, so companies may tighten their credit limits to prevent their accounts receivable(money owed to them) from becoming too large. In response to a prolonged recession, one companyhas cut its customers’ credit limits in half. Thus, if a particular customer had a credit limit of $2000,it’s now $1000. If a customer had a credit limit of $5000, it’s now $2500. Write a program thatanalyzes the credit status of three customers of this company. For each customer you’re given:a) The customer’s account number.b) The customer’s credit limit before the recession.c) The customer’s current balance (i.e., the amount the customer owes the company).Your program should calculate and print the new credit limit for each customer and shoulddetermine (and print) which customers have current balances that exceed their new credit limits.arrow_forwardSalary Calculator Create a program that computes the salary based on an employee's hourly wage and hours worked. Note that employees may work for fractions of an hour, e.g. 1 and a half hours (1.5 hours). Use the following formulas: Less than or equal to 40 hours worked hourly wage * hours worked Over 40, but less than or equal to 65 hours worked (hourly wage * 40) + (hours worked - 40) * (hourly wage * 1.5) Over 65 hours worked (hourly wage * 40) + (hourly wage * 1.5) * 25 + (hours worked - 65) * hourly wage * 2 Also make sure that the hourly wage and hours worked are positive. Otherwise, display the error message: "Invalid input". Please see the sample outputs below to guide the design of your program. main.cc file #include <iomanip> #include <iostream> int main() { // TODO: accept user input to store the hourly wage and hours worked. // Then, include the header file at the top of this file so you can // call your function that computes a…arrow_forward
- Personal BestWrite a program that asks for the name of a pole vaulter and the dates and vaultheights (in meters) of the athlete’s three best vaults.

For example, int(3.2) = 3, int(4.8) = 4. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of hours a car is parked at the airport and outputs the parking fee.arrow_forwardProblem: Feed Nibble Monster Till Full Write a program that generates a number in [0, 500] at the beginning -- this corresponds to how hungry the monster is -- and keeps asking the user to feed the monster until that number falls to zero. Each time the user feeds the monster a nibble, hunger decreases by the decimal value of the character (i.e. if the user feeds 'A' hunger decreases by 65). But when the user feeds the monster some character that isn't a nibble, the hunger increases by the decimal value of the character (since puking depletes energy). Use while loop. Sample runs: Notice the loop exits after one iteration, because hunger was very low and one nibble made the monster full: Notice hunger increasing after non-nibble (pink highlight): Notice that the program just keeps going when the user feeds the monster only non-nibbles. Do you think the program will keep running forever if the user never gives the monster nibbles?arrow_forward
