When Jacob Steinberg began his trip from California to Vermont, he filled his car’s tank with gas and reset its trip meter to 0. After traveling 324 miles, Jacob stopped at a gas station to refuel; the gas tank required 17 gallons. Jacob wants a program that calculates and displays his car’s gas mileage at any time during the trip. The gas mileage is the number of miles his car can be driven per gallon of gas. Desk-check your solution’s algorithm using 324 as the number of miles driven and 17 as the number of gallons used; then desk-check it using 280 and 15.
Average acceleration is defined as the change of velocity divided by the time taken to make the change, as shown in the following formula:
a = ( v1 - v0 ) / t
Write a program that prompts the user to enter the starting velocity in meters/second, the ending velocity in meters/second, and the time span t inseconds, and displays the average acceleration.
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.

- The BlueMont chain hotels have 4 different types of room: Single room: $60/night Double room: $75/night King room: $100/night Suite room: $150/night The size of the hotel chains in different locations may be different in terms of the number of floors and the type and the number of rooms on each floor. You are required to write a program that calculates the occupancy rate and the total hotel income for one night and displays this information as well as some other information described below. The program starts by asking the location where this hotel chain is located and the number of floors in the hotel. The number of floors may not exceed 5. The User then enters the total number of rooms for each floor. The program then asks specifically the number of occupied rooms for each room type on this floor. The total number of rooms on each floor may not exceed 30 and the program should check that the total number of occupied rooms on each floor does not exceed the total of rooms on…arrow_forwardSlove by pythonarrow_forwardBody mass index (BMI) is a measure of health based on weight.

- Phyton The program that you create for this exercise will begin by reading the cost of a meal ordered at a restaurant from the user. Then your program will compute the tax and tip for the meal. Use your local tax rate when computing the amount of tax owing. Compute the tip as 18 percent of the meal amount (without the tax). The output from your program should include the tax amount, the tip amount, and the grand total for the meal including both the tax and the tip. Format the output so that all of the values are displayed using two decimal places.arrow_forwardComputer sciencearrow_forwardPython Programming Only Please: The colors red, blue, and yellow are known as the primary colors because they cannotbe made by mixing other colors. When you mix two primary colors, you get a secondarycolor, as shown here: When you mix red and blue, you get purple.When you mix red and yellow, you get orange.When you mix blue and yellow, you get green. Design a program that prompts the user to enter the names of two primary colors to mix. Ifthe user enters anything other than “red,” “blue,” or “yellow,” the program should displayan error message. Otherwise, the program should display the name of the secondary colorthat results.arrow_forward

The payroll clerk will initially input the data, and given the input data, an employee's wage for the week should be displayed on the screen for the payroll check. The data for the employee includes the employee's hourly pay rate and the number of hours worked that week. Wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked (up to 40 hours). If the employee worked more than 40 hours, wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times 40 hours plus 1½ times the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked above 40. Instructions: Match the action at the left-side with the correct step number at the right-side (the attached picture). Note that it may be possible to group more than one related actions in the same logical step / process without altering the essence of the algorithm. In the program flow, input and checking of hourly pay rate should come before that of the number…arrow_forward

During each summer, John and Jessica grow vegetables in their backyard and buy seeds and fertilizer from a local nursery. The nursery carries different types of vegetable fertilizers in various bag sizes. When buying a particular fertilizer, they want to know the price of the fertilizer per pound and the cost of fertilizing per square foot. The following program prompts the user to enter the size of the fertilizer bag, in pounds, the cost of the bag, and the area, in square feet, that can be covered by the bag. The program should output the desired result. However, the program contains logic errors. Find and correct the logic errors so that the program works properly. // Logic errors. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { double costs double area; double bagsize; cout > bagsize; cout > cost; cout > area; cout << endl; cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $" << bagsize / cost << endl; cout << "The cost of fertilizing per square foot is: $" << area / cost << endl; return 0; }arrow_forward
