(Physics) You’ve been asked to write a program to calculate the value of distance, in miles, given this relationship:
a. For this
b. How many inputs does this problem have?
c. Determine a formula for converting input items into output items.
d. Test the formula written for Exercise 2c, using the following sample data: rate is 55 miles
per hour and elapsed time is 2.5 hours.
e. How must the formula you determined in Exercise 2c be modified if the elapsed time is
given in minutes instead of hours?

- [THIS IS NOT GRADED] The question mentions the bouncy program; this is the bouncy program I have written that computes the total distance traveled by the ball given initial height, bounciness index, and number of bounces: height = float(input("Enter the height from which the ball is dropped: ")) bounciness = float(input("Enter the bounciness index of the ball: ")) distance = 0 bounces = int(input("Enter the number of times the ball is allowed to continue bouncing: ")) for eachPass in range(bounces): distance += height height *= bounciness distance += height print('\nTotal distance traveled is:', distance, 'units.') I will attatch the pre-existing code that the question provided. Thank you for your help.arrow_forwardComputer Science Please help You went camping overnight but forgot to take with you a heater and need to make one using a dc battery of V0 and spare electrical wires of different lengths and resistivity. The battery has lead with the resistance of Rw. Please obtain the formula for the joule heat power and plot it as a function of RH ( in MATLAB) and in comparison to the resistance of the connecting leads, Rw. (Note: express RH = x Rw, where x is the effective ratio; vary x and plot Pmax vs. x). and Find the heating power if the heater is made out of superconducting metal. Will this heater work and why?! What is to happen on the molecular ( i.e. electron) level ?!arrow_forward(Apartment problem) A real estate office handles , say, 50 apartment units. When the rent is, say, $600 per month, all the units are occupied. However, for each, say $40 increase in rent, one unit becomes vacant. Moreover, each occupied unit requires an average of $27 per month for maintenance. How many units should be rented to maximize the profit? Write a program that prompts the user to enter: The total number of units. The rent to occupy all the units. The increase in rent that results in a vacant unit. Amount to maintain rented unit. The program then outputs the number of units to be rented to maximize the profit.arrow_forward
- (Computer mini-project) Area of a unit circle equals rt. Cover a circle with a 2 by 2 square and follow Algorithm 5.5 to estimate number Tt based on 100, 1,000, and 10,000 random numbers. Compare results with the exact value t = 3.14159265358... and comment on precision. %3D Please build an algorithm, test it and explain the results.

You’ll use random number generation to develop a simulation of this memorable event. Our contenders begin the race at square 1 of 70 squares. Each square represents a possible position along the race course. The finish line is at square 70. The first contender to reach or pass square 70 is rewarded with a pail of fresh carrots and lettuce. The course weaves its way up the side of a slippery mountain, so occasionally the contenders lose ground. Use variables to keep track of the positions of the animals (i.e., position numbers are 1–70). Start each animal at position 1 (i.e., the “starting gate”). If an animal slips left before square 1, move the animal back to square 1. Generate the percentages in Fig. 10.24 by producing a random integer i in the range 1 ≤i ≤10. For the tortoise, perform a “fast plod” when 1 ≤i…arrow_forward(C PROGRAMMING ONLY) 6. Deal or No Deal?by CodeChum Admin When I was a kid, I used to watch this TV game show, Deal or No Deal? In the game, there are different brief cases, each labeled with a number. Inside each brief case is an amount in Pesos and the goal is to guess which briefcase contains the smallest amount. In this program, instead of just finding the smallest amount, your task is to ask the user for an integer input and print the values in the array smaller than the inputted integer. Instructions: In the code editor, you are provided with an array with 100 elements.Your task is to ask the user for an integer input and then print all the elements in the array whose value is lesser than the inputted integer.Input 1. Inputted integer Output Enter value: 6132450351503022244arrow_forward
- (3) (a) A fair coin is flipped, if it lands on the head side, one dice is rolled and X is the resulted number, if it lands on the tail side, two dice are rolled and X is the resulted sum. Calculate E[X] and V[X]. Write a computer program and carry out a simulation to verify your answers. (b*) A person starts walking home from a bar towards his home. The distance is n blocks. Every hour he either manages to walk one block towards home, or gets confused and picks up a cab back to the bar (each with probability 1/2). At any point, if he is at the bar, he always moves ahead one block. What is the expected time it takes him to get home? (c) Write a computer program' and carry out a simulation to verify your answer. (If you have trouble with part (b), do the computer simulation and formulate a conjecture of the answer for partial credits.)arrow_forward(Algebra: solve quadratic equations) The two roots of a quadratic equation ax? + bx + c = 0 can be obtained using the following formula: -b + VB - 4ac and -b - VB - 4ac 2a 2a b - 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation. If it is positive, the equation has two real roots. If it is zero, the equation has one root. If it is negative, the equation has no real roots. Write a program that prompts the user to enter values for a, b, and c and displays the result based on the discriminant. If the discriminant is positive, display two roots. If the discriminant is 0, display one root. Otherwise, display "The equation has no real roots."arrow_forward(Removing break and continue ) A criticism of the break statement and the continue statement is that each isunstructured. Actually, these statements can always be replaced by structured statements, although doing so can beawkward. Describe in general how you’d remove any break statement from a loop in a program and replace it with some structured equivalent. [Hint: The break statement exits a loop from the body of the loop. The other way to exit is by failing the loop-continuation test. Consider using in the loop-continuation test a second test that indicates “early exit because of a ‘break’ condition.”] Use the technique you develop here to remove thebreak statement from the application.arrow_forward
- (USING MATLAB!) Write a function that will return a random number (float number). If no arguments are passed to the function, it will return one random number from 0 to 1. If one argument is passed, it is the max and the returned one random number will be from 0 to max. If two arguments are passed, they represent the min and max and the function will return one random number within the range of [min, max].arrow_forward(python3) Use the "stats" method (as shown in the provided image) as well as an illustrative plot to determine whether the following statement is true or false: The mean and variance values will also be the same for the Poisson distribution.arrow_forwardQ27) An approximation for the exponential function can be found using what is called a Maclaurin series: x' x? x3 et x 1+ 1! + +... 2! 3!
