Falling Distance
When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used to determine the distance the object falls In a specific time period:
The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8. and t is the amount of time, in seconds, that the object has been falling
Write a function named falling_distance that accepts an object s falling time (in seconds) as an argument The function should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval. Write a

- (General math) a. Write a function named rightTriangle() that accepts the lengths of two sides of a right triangle as the arguments a and b. The subroutine should determine and return the hypotenuse, c, of the triangle. (Hint:UsePythagorastheorem,c2=a2+b2.) b. Include the function written for Exercise 4a in a working program. The main() function should call rightTriangle() correctly and display the value the function returns.arrow_forward(Misc. application) a. The data in the following chart was collected on a recent automobile trip: Write a C++ program that accepts a mileage and gallons value and calculates the miles pergallon (mpg) for that segment of the trip. The mpg is obtained as the difference in mileage between fill-ups divided by the number of gallons of gasoline used in the fill-up. b. Modify the program written for Exercise 9a to also compute and display the cumulative mpg after each fill-up. The cumulative mpg is calculated as the difference between the mileage at each fill-up and the mileage at the start of the trip divided by the sum of gallons used to that point in the trip.arrow_forward(Physics) Buoyancy is the upward force a liquid exerts on a submerged object, as shown in Figure 6.9. The buoyancy force is given by this formula: B=pgV Bisthebuoyancyforce( lbforN).isthefluiddensity( slug/f t 3 orkg/ m 3 ).gistheaccelerationcausedbygravity( 32.2ft/se c 2 or9.8m/ s 2 ).Vistheobjectsvolume( f t 3 or m 3 ). a. Using this formula, write a function named buoyantForce(double ro, double vol, int units) that accepts a fluid density, the volume of an object placed in the fluid, and the units to be used(1=U.S.Customaryunits,2=metricunits), and returns the buoyancy force exerted on the object. b. Include the function written for Exercise 6a in a working C++ program, and use your program to complete the following chart:arrow_forward
- (Numerical) Write an assignment statement to calculate the nth term in an arithmetic sequence. This is the formula for calculating the value, v, of the nth term: v=a+(n1)d a is the first number in the sequence. d is the difference between any two numbers in the sequence.arrow_forward4. During each summer, John and Jessica grow vegetables in their backyard and buy seeds and fertilizer from a local nursery. The nursery carries different types of vegetable fertilizers in various bag sizes. When buying a particular fertilizer, they want to know the price of the fertilizer per pound and the cost of fertilizing per square foot. The following program prompts the user to enter the size of the fertilizer bag, in pounds, the cost of the bag, and the area, in square feet, that can be covered by the bag. The program should output the desired result. However, the program contains logic errors. Find and correct the logic errors so that the program works properly. // Logic errors. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { double costs double area; double bagsize; cout > bagsize; cout > cost; cout > area; cout << endl; cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $" << bagsize / cost << endl; cout << "The cost of fertilizing per square foot is: $" << area / cost << endl; return 0; }arrow_forward(Civil eng.)

- Future Investment Value = investment amount * (1 + monthly interest)^(number of years * 12) Using this formula, write a function in Python called futureValue that prompts the user to enter an investment amount, an annual percentage interest rate, and the amount of years. The function should accept the input as arguments. The interest rate should have a default value of 7%. You can add default values of your choice for the amount of years. This function should print out a table that displays the future values. Demonstrate this function in another function called main. Format your output by two decimal places. Output Example: Enter the amount you want to invest: 1000 [Enter] Enter the interest rate for your investment: [Enter] Enter the number of years you want to invest this money: 30 [Enter] Years Future Value 1 1093.81 2 1196.41 ........ 30 14730.58arrow_forward# Question 4def costume_rating(costume_color, bling_value): """ Returns a function that calculates the number of candies to return based on the costume color, bling value, and phrase length. Args: costume_color (str): The color of your costume. Must be one of 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'yellow', 'purple', or 'orange'. bling_value (int): Represents how shiny your costume is. Must be a positive integer. Returns: A function that takes in one parameter: phrase (str): The phrase said by the trick-or-treater. >>> costume_rater = costume_rating('blue', 5) >>> costume_rater('19 Character Phrase') 85 >>> costume_rater('e') 0 >>> costume_rater('seven c') 1 >>> costume_rater = costume_rating('orange', 8) >>> costume_rater('hello i want candy') 14 >>> costume_rater = costume_rating('yellow', 5) >>> costume_rater('please give me…arrow_forwardThree cars drive a 500-mile route. Write a program that inputs the car's make and the number of gallons of fuel used by each car. After calling a "calcMPG()" function once for each car, have main determine and display which car was the most fuel-efficient and how many miles per gallon it got. The "calcMPG()" function should be passed the distance driven and the gallons of gas used as arguments, and should return the miles per gallon obtained.arrow_forward
- Driving costs - functions Learning Objectives Create a function to match the specifications Use floating-point value division Instructions Driving is expensive. Write a program with a car's miles/gallon and gas dollars/gallon (both floats) as input, and output the gas cost for 10 miles, 50 miles, and 400 miles. Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows: print(f'{your_value:.2f}') Ex: If the input to your program is: 20.0 3.1599 the output is: The gas cost for 10 miles is $1.58 The gas cost for 50 miles is $7.90 The gas cost for 400 miles is $63.20 Your program must define and call the driving_cost() function. Given input parameters driven_miles, miles_per_gallon, and dollars_per_gallon, the function returns the dollar cost to drive those miles. Ex: If the function is called with: 50 20.0 3.1599 the function returns: 7.89975 def driving_cost(driven_miles, miles_per_gallon, dollars_per_gallon) Your program should…arrow_forwardA county collects property taxes on the assessment value of property, which is 60 percent of the property’s actual value. For example, if an acre of land is valued at $10,000, its assessment value is $6,000. The property tax is then 72¢ for each $100 of the assessment value. The tax for the acre assessed at $6,000 will be $38.40. Write a function that accepts the actual value of a piece of property and displays the assessment value and property tax.
