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.
Two points in a plane are specified using the coordinates (x1,y1) and(x2,y2). Write a program that calculates the slope of a line through two(non-vertical) points entered by the user.y2 - y1 slope=x 2 1
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_forwardquadratic.py by using "sys.argv" ● Create a program, quadratic.py, that takes in three arguments that represent the a, b, and c values in the quadratic formula.

- 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.arrow_forwardAssume letters A/a, E/e, I/i, O/o, and U/u as the vowels.
