Create an application that displays the following menu:
Select a Planet
- 1. Mercury
- 2. Venus
- 3. Earth
- 4. Mars
- 5. Exit the
program
Enter your selection.
When the user selects a planet from the menu, the program should display data about the planet's average distance from the sun, the planet’s mass, and the planet’s surface temperature. Use the following data in your program:
| Mercury | |

| Mass | 3.31 × 10^23kg |
| Surface temperature | –173 to 430 degrees Celsius |
| Venus | |
| Average distance from the sun | 108.2 million kilometers |
| Mass | 4.87 × 10^24kg |
| Surface temperature | 472 degrees Celsius |
| Earth | |
| Average distance from the sun | 149.6 million kilometers |
| Mass | 5.967 × 10^24kg |
| Surface temperature | –50 to 50 degrees Celsius |

Falling Distance When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used to determine the distance the object falls in a specific time period: d =1/2gt2 The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the amount of time in seconds that the object has been falling. Create an application that allows the user to enter the amount of time that an object has fallen and then displays the distance that the object fell. The application should have a method named FallingDistance. The FallingDistance method should accept an object’s falling time (in seconds) as an argument. The method should return the distance in meters that the object has fallen during that time interval.
Sales Tax and Total Create an application that allows the user to enter the amount of a purchase. The program should then calculate the state and county sales tax. Assume the state sales tax is 4 percent and the county sales tax is 2 percent. The program should display the amount of the purchase, the state sales tax, the county sales tax, the total sales tax, and the total of the sale (which is the sum of the amount of purchase plus the total sales tax).
Tip, Tax, and Total Create an application that lets the user enter the food charge for a meal at a restaurant. When a button is clicked, the application should calculate and display the amount of a 15 percent tip, 7 percent sales tax, and the total of all three amounts.

- Retail Price Calculator Create an application that lets the user enter an item's wholesale cost and its markup percentage. It should then display the items retail price. For example: If an item's wholesale cost is $5.00 and its markup percentage is 100 percent, then the item's retail price is $10. If an item's wholesale cost is $5.00 and its markup percentage is 50 percent, then the item's retail price is $7.50. The program should have a method named CalculateRetail that receives the wholesale cost and the markup percentage as arguments and returns the retail price of the item. In addition, there should be the name of the Wholesale Company displayed (be creative). If the cost is over $500, display a $20 discount on the retail price. For example: If an item's wholesale cost is $600.00 and its markup percentage is 100 percent, then the item's retail price is $1,180. ( Markup = $600 * 100% = 600 Retail Price = $600 + $600 - $20 (wholesale cost + markup - discount)arrow_forwardPaint Job Estimator A painting company has determined that for every 115 square feet of wall space, 1 gallon of paint and 8 hours of labor will be required.
