Given an airplane’s acceleration a and take-off speed v, you can compute the minimum runway length needed for an airplane to take off using the following formula:
length = v2/2a
Write a program that prompts the user to enter v in meters/second (m/s) and the acceleration a in meters/second squared and displays the minimum runway length.
Write a Phyton program that computes the duration of a projectile’s flight and its height above the ground when it reaches the target. As part of your solution, you should display instructions to the program user.
Relevant formula:
time = distancevelocity xcos (θ)
height = velocity xsin x time- g x time22
use the following variables:
g = gravitational constant = 32.17
= angle of elevation in radian
v = velocity or the projectile velocity (ft/sec)
d= distance to target
t = time of flight in seconds.
h = height at impact
Try your program on these data sets.
Write a program to calculate the position of a projectile at a given time t. For an
initial velocity vo and angle of departure ®g, the position is given by x and y
coordinates as follows (note: the gravity constant g is 9.81 m/s²):
X= V0 Cos (0)t
y=vo sin (8,)t –; gt
The program should initialize the variables for the initial velocity, time, and
angle of departure. It should then call a function to find the x and y coordinates,
and then another function to print the results

- Given an airplane's acceleration and take-off speed v, you can compute the minimum runway length needed for an airplane to take off using the following formula. length=v^2/2*a. write a program that prompts the user to enter V in meters and acceleration an in meter/second and display the minimum runway length.arrow_forwardAirline companies apply baggage restrictions for their passengers. An airline company has decided to apply a 10kg limitation for passengers' hand luggage and 20kg for their normal baggage. When passengers arrive, they enter their hand and normal luggage weight from the keyboard. If passengers exceed their normal baggage allowance of 10 dollars per gram, they pay 12 dollars per kg. Accordingly, write the program that calculates the baggage price of the airline they will go to according to the baggage values entered by the arriving passenger and keeps this from closing the program for each passenger. Note: If hand and normal baggage allowances are stretched below the maximum value, the payment amount will be considered not negative. An example printout is given on the right.

- Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of health on weight. It can be calculated by taking your weight in kilograms and dividing by the square of your height in meters. Write a program which prompts the user to enter the weight in kgs (integer value) and height in feet and inches (both integers) and then calculates the BMI of the person. Your program first need to convert inches to meters (i.e. inches * 0.0254) and then use the following formula to calculate BMI: weight kilogram / (height_meter)^2 Your program displays the BMI value in two decimal places and the corresponding status as shown in the examples below. Note that one inch is 0.0254 meters and 1 foot is 12 inches.

To measure how tall the building is you go to the top floor and let a stone fall to the ground, while measuring the time it takes to reach the ground. To increase the precision of the calculations the experiment is conducted a number of times. The user should input how many times he conducted the test and input the time (t) for each test. Calculate the height h given the equation h= ½ (g * t ³) where t is the time and g= 9.81 m/s (this is a constant). The program should print out the height expressed in meters.arrow_forward
