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.
Design a function named fallingDistance 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. Design a

Plants Growth Cycle
Learning Objectives
In this lab, you will practice:
Defining a function to match the given specifications
Calling the function in your program
Using if statements (can combine them with dictionaries)
Instructions
For every plant, there is a growth cycle. The number of days that it takes starting from being a seed and ending in being a fruit is what is called the growth cycle. Write a function that takes a plant's name as an argument and returns its growth cycle (in days).
In your program:
Input from the user the name of a plant
Check if the input is either "strawberry", "cucumber" or "potato", if Yes:
2.1 Call calculate_growth_cycle
2.2. In function calculate_growth_cycle, check over the plant's name:
2.2.1 If strawberry, print "### The life cycle of a strawberry ###" and return 110
2.2.2 If cucumber, print "### The life cycle of a cucumber ###" and return 76
2.2.3 If potato, print "### The life cycle a potato ###" and return 120

The formula for converting a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius is
C = 5/9 * (F - 32)
where F is the Fahrenheit temperature and C is the Celsius temperature.Write a function named celsius that accepts two Fahrenheit temperatures (low and high) as arguments. The function will print a table list the Fahrenheit temperatures from low to high and the corresponding Celsuis temperatures.
What is the function prototype? (assume only integers used for the temperate)
void celsius (int, int);
How to implement this function?
The function will use a loop to convert the Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius temperatures and display the values in the console.
In the driver program, prompt for the user input for the low and high Fahrenheit temperatures. Call the the function to display the result in the console.
Requirements:
Use only for-loop for this exercise;
Print the output in a table format
Include the function prototypes before the main()

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.

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_forward5.8 LAB: User-Defined Functions: Max magnitude CORAL LANGUAGE ONLY PLEASE Define a function named MaxMagnitude with two integer parameters that returns the largest magnitude value.

- In physics, an object that is in motion is said to have kinetic energy. The following formula can be used to determine a moving object’s kinetic energy:KE=12mv2The variables in the formula are as follows: KE is the kinetic energy, m is the object’s mass in kilograms, and v is the object’s velocity in meters per second. Write a function named kinetic_energy that accepts an object’s mass (in kilograms) and velocity (in meters per second) as arguments. The function should return the amount of kinetic energy that the object has. Write a program that asks the user to enter values for mass andvelocity, then calls the kinetic_energy function to get the object’s kinetic energy.arrow_forwardA bank charges $10 per month, plus the following check fees for a commercial checking account: $0.10 each for less than 20 checks $0.08 each for 20 through 39 checks $0.06 each for 40 through 59 checks $0.04 each for 60 or more checks Write a function BankCharges() that allows the user to enter the number of checks written and computes and displays the bank’s service fees for the month. All checks for the month are assigned the same charge, based on the total number of checks written during the month. Use the following test data to determine whether the application is calculating properly. In each case, the customer is charged only a single rate, based on the total number of checks. Your solution should clearly show the function.

You may assume that this number is always between 0 and 25599 (inclusive of both). The function returns a formatted str containing an equivalent number of gallons, cups andtablespoons. The answer should use as many gallons, then cups as possible. For example:gct(312) would return '01g,03c,08t' as 312 tablespoons is equivalent to 1 gallon, 3 cups, and 8 tablespoons. Each of the output quantities (gallons, cups, tablespoons) should occupy two digits. If the values have less than two digits, they should be padded with leading zeroes. I.e., 2 cups is represented by '02c' .arrow_forward

- Tracking laps Learning Objectives In this lab, you will practice writing functions, passing arguments and returning results from the function printing the result of a function call writing your code as a module Instructions Main Idea An Olympic-size swimming pool is used in the Olympic Games, where the racecourse is 50 meters (164.0 ft) in length. "In swimming, a lap is the same as a length. By definition, a lap means a complete trip around a race track, in swimming, the pool is the race track. Therefore if you swim from one end to the other, you’ve completed the track and thus you’ve completed one lap or one length." (Source: What Is A Lap In Swimming? Lap Vs Length) Write the function meters_to_laps() that takes a number of meters as an argument and returns the real number of laps.
