Chapter 4, Problem 7PP

Write a program that simulates a bouncing ball by computing its height in foot at each second as time passes on a simulated clock. At time zero, the bail begins at height zero and has an initial velocity supplied by the user (An initial velocity of at least 100 feet per second is a good choice.) After each second, change the height by adding the current velocity; then subtract 32 from the velocity. If the new height is less than zero, multiply both the height and the velocity by −0.5 to simulate the bounce. Step at the fifth bounce. The output from your program should have the following form:

Enter the initial velocity of the ball: 100

Time: 0 Height: 0.0

Time: 1 Height: 100.0

Time: 2 Height: 168.0

Time: 3 Height: 204.0

Time: 4 Height: 208.0

Time: 5 Height: 180.0

Time: 6 Height: 120.0

Time: 7 Height: 28.0

Bounce!

Time: 8 Height: 48.0

Write a program that simulates a snail trying to crawl up a building of height 6steps. The snail starts on the ground, at height 0. In each iteration, the snaileither crawls up one step, or slips off one step and falls all the way back to theground. In each iteration you would take a number as input from user and if the number is less 50 than the snail will slip otherwise it will crawl up. The program should keep going until the snail gets to the top of the building. It should then print out the number of falls that the snail took before it finally reached the top.Here is a sample execution:Iteration 1: Please enter a number between [1,100]: 60 Snail Moved: UpIteration 2: Please enter a number between [1,100]: 60 Snail Moved: UpIteration 2: Please enter a number between [1,100]: 40 Snail Moved: DownNumber of falls: 8
Write a program that reads three edges for a triangle and computes the perimeter if the input is valid. Otherwise, display that the input is invalid. The input is valid if the sum of every pair of two edges is greater than the remaining edge.
Write a program that generates 50 random numbers such that the first number is between 1 and 2, the second is between 1 and 3, the third is between 1 and 4, . . . , and the last is between 1 and 51.
