Summary
During winter when it is very cold, typically, everyone would like to know the windchill factor, especially, before going out. Meteorologists use the following formula to compute the windchill factor, W:
W = 35.74 + 0.6215 × T - 35.75 × V0.16 + 0.4275 × T × V0.16
where V is the wind speed in miles per hour and T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Instructions
Write a program that prompts the user to input the wind speed in miles per hour, and the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The program then outputs the current temperature and the windchill factor. Your program must contain at least two functions: one to get the user input and the other to determine the windchill factor.
Price Calculator in Python
Write a complete Python program that asks for
the price of an item and the quantity purchased,
and writes out the total cost.

- Scientists measure an object's mass in kilograms and its weight in Newtons. If you know the amount of mass of an object, you can calculate it's weight in Newtons with the following formula: Design a program that asks the user to enter an object's mass, and then calculates its weight. If the object weighs more than 1,000 Newtons, display a message indicating that it is too heavy. If the object weighs less than 10 Newtons, display a message indicating that it is too light.

If theamount deposited is P, the stated interest rate is r, and interest is compounded m timesper year, then the balance in the account after one year is P⋅(1+rm)m. For instance, if$1000 is deposited at 3% interest compounded quarterly (that is, 4 times per year), thenthe balance after one year is1000⋅(1+.034)4=1000⋅1.00754=$1,030.34.Interest rates with different compounding periods cannot be compared directly.The concept of APY (annual percentage yield) must be used to make the comparison. TheAPY for a stated interest rate r compounded m times per year is defined byAPY=(1+rm)m−1.(The APY is the simple interest rate that yields the same amount of interest after oneyear as the compounded annual rate of interest.) Write a program to compare interestrates offered by two different banks and determine the most favorable interest rate. SeeFig. 4.24.arrow_forwardPlease in Java programming languagearrow_forward

The program should perform the following steps: Ask the user for the diameter of the pizza in inches. Calculate the number of slices that may be taken from a pizza of that size. Display a message telling the number of slices. To calculate the number of slices that may be taken from the pizza, you must know the following facts: Each slice should have an area of 14.125 inches. To calculate the number of slices, simply divide the area of the pizza by 14.125.

- Computer Science Godot Programming Programming Problem 1. Rock, Paper, Scissors This is your traditional rock-paper-scissors game, where two players select one of the three options and a result is produced based on their selection. For reference: Rock beats scissors Paper beats rock Scissors beats paper For this problem, you are to assume that two human players will play against each other and will input their choices accordingly. The input for each player will be in the form of buttons. Once a player clicks on a button, the rest of their buttons are locked in place (i.e. disabled). Once the other player selects their pick, the program outputs who won or if there was a draw. This isn’t exactly the most realistic way to code the game as it would be better if both players made their choice at the same time, but we’ll just have to chalk this up as a limitation for our exam. Aside from the game itself, the program should track the score of each player.

The input to the program is the number of hours the employee works in one week and the employee’s hourly pay rate. The program is to calculate the employee’s gross pay including the possibility of overtime pay. Regular pay is the number of hours the employee worked (up to 40 hours) times the hourly rate. The program is to compute an overtime pay if the employee worked more than 40 hours. All hours beyond 40 should be multiplied to 1.5 for the OT differential pay The program should output the worker’s regular pay, overtime time, and the gross pay (sum of the regular pay and overtime pay).
