Your first task will be to write a simple movement simulator on a snakes and ladders board. For this questionyou can ignore the snakes and ladders and just simply assume you only have to deal with moving. You willneed to simulate rolling the die - this can be done by using the Python random module and the randint method.Your function play_game will take as input the length of the board (an integer), "play" the game by rolling the diemultiple times until the sum of rolls is larger or equal to the length of the board. (note: this is one of the possibleand simplest end rules). The function should return the total number of rolls required to finish the the particulargame that was played. Obviously this number will vary as it depends on the specific random rolls performedduring the movement simulation.
A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where
the air temperature is 10° F. After one-half minute the thermometer reads 57° F. What is the reading of
the thermometer at t = 1 min? Assume that the rate of change of temperature in time is proportional to
the difference between the thermometer's temperature and the air temperature.
Type your answer in °F in the space provided below. Round your answer to two decimal places.

- In this lab work, you will implement a coffee shop example. In this coffee shop, everything must progress as if it does in real life. It means that the program should ask a person for body temperature in Celsius, and grant or reject access to a coffee shop. When a customer orders a coffee, they have to choose a size such as Small, Medium, and Large then, depending on the order, the price has to change. The price also has to change depending on the type of coffee. For example, for coffees that are similar to espresso, you also need to take every shot of espresso into account. The actual prices of the coffees depend on your imagination however, they should be realistic. Some hints: • Focus on dividing your program into multiple functions. • You can also return double or integer types of values from your functions, so use them if you can. • Don't just code a function every possible type of, and try to make it generic as much as possible. • Be creative.

- Write a program to calculate the surface area and volume of a square pyramid. A square pyramid has a base that is square and all triangle faces are congruent isosceles triangles. (An isosceles triangle is a triangle in which two of the sides are equal. Length of the base: a Height of the pyramid: h Volume = a2h/3 Slant height, s = sqrt(h2 + (a/2)2) This is the Pythagorean Theorem part. Area of one pyramid side = s*a/2 Here are my calculations: Test Case #1 Height(h): 5.0’ Base(a): 2.5’ Volume = (2.5**2) * (5/3) (6.25) * (1.66) = 10.375 cubic feet Slant Height = math.sqrt(5**2) + (2.5/2)**2) Sqrt(25+1.5625) Sqrt(26.5625) = 5.154 feet Pyramid (not including base) = (5.154) * (2.5/2) * 4 (5.154) * (1.25) * (4) = 25.769 sq.

If one day you buy soft drinks and bring the empty bottles the next day, they exchange each set of K empty bottles for a full one. A customer wants to make the most of this offer and therefore bought several bottles on the first day of the promotion. Now he wants to know how many bottles he will have at the end of the second day of the promotion if he use it to the fullest. Make a program to calculate this. Input The first input line contains integer T (1 ≤ T ≤ 10000), which indicates the number of test cases. In each of the following T lines come two integers N and K (1 ≤ K, N ≤ 10000), respectively the number of soft drinks bought and the number of empty bottles to gain a full. Output For each test case print the number of bottles that the customer will have on the second day, if he makes the most of the offer.arrow_forwardWrite a program to calculate the surface area and volume of a square pyramid.

Area of one pyramid side = s*a/2 For this program you are to determine two things about a square pyramid. 1) the surface area of the four sides. 2) the volume. Do not include surface area of the base.

- Create Python programming in Physics and Materials Science. In physics, chemistry, and materials science, percolation refers to the movement and filtering of fluids through porous materials. (Wikipedia.org). Consider a simplified model below. Imagine, this is a filter or maybe some layers of stones such that when a certain amount of fluid is put on top, it will reach the bottom only if there is a direct passage. In this case, the blue squares serve as the porous materials or the holes where fluid may pass. Your task is to simulate this simple percolation by representing them in a 2-dimensional array. The input would be in a string, while the output would either be yes or no to indicate whether the fluid can pass through the filter or not. Examples: Input: “1,0,0,0,0;0,1,0,0,0;0,1,0,0,0;0,0,1,0,0;0,0,0,1,0”Output: Yes Input: “0,0,0,1,0;0,1,0,0,0;0,1,0,0,0;0,0,1,0,0;0,0,0,1,0”Output: No Input: “1,0,0;0,1,0;0,0,0;0,0,1”Output: No Note: It should also work with these two inputs:1. “1”…arrow_forwardWelcome to the era of Aladdin and the great magic lamp. This is 1st of January and Aladdin will be in jail for one year. He was recently caught for helping forty thieves. Now he has nothing to do. But he knows that Jasmine is waiting for him. At some point he got an idea to give Jasmine a magical program that can find intervals of months from a year. This allows her to easily determine how long it will take for Aladdin to get out. Then Aladdin rubs the magic lamp and The Genie appears. Then he asked The Genie to make such a magical program. Unfortunately the Genie doesn't know programming and he wants your help to create that magical program. Genie will give you N as the day of the year and you have to print in which month that day is.

- The position x as a function of a particle that moves along a straight line is given by: x(t) = - 0.1t^4 + 0.8t ^3 + 10t -70m The velocity v(t) of the particle is determined by the derivative of x(t) with respect to t, and the acceleration is d a(t)eremined by the derivative of wit v(t)h respect to t.

If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma.
