- A bullet train slows from a speed of 200 mi/hr to 150 mi/hr in one minute. Write a computer program that calculates the bullet train’s constant rate of acceleration and determines how long the bullet train will take to come to rest, given an initial speed of 200 mi/hr. (Hint: Use the equation a = vf - vi t where a is acceleration, t is time interval, vi is initial velocity, and vf is final velocity.)

A laborant in a laboratory does a number of antigen tests in one day. Write a program that simulates the number of antigen tests done in a day in a laboratory, displays the number of positives and negatives, and calculates the % of positives in one day. Your program needs to first generate a random number that will show the number of tests done in a day. One laboratory in a day cannot do more than 100 tests and less than 1 (they do at least one). Then for each of the tests, your program needs to generate a random number to show whether they are positive or negative. In order to write this program, you need to have the following three functions used by the main function: test result (void): This function generates a test result. It should randomly return either one or zero. 1 means positive test result and 0 means negative test result. float positive percentage (int,int) : This function takes the total number of positives and the total number of tests and returns the % of positives.…arrow_forwardYou've been asked to write a program that calculates and displays the output voltages of two electrical circuits and the sum of the two voltages.
