Max Function

Statistical function is of many categories. One of them is a MAX function. The MAX function returns the largest value from the list of arguments passed to it. MAX function always ignores the empty cells when performing the calculation.

Power Function

A power function is a type of single-term function. Its definition states that it is a variable containing a base value raised to a constant value acting as an exponent. This variable may also have a coefficient. For instance, the area of a circle can be…

Chapter 4, Problem 21PC

The Speed of Sound in Gases

When sound travels through a gas, its speed depends primarily on the density of the medium. The less dense the medium, the faster the speed will be. The following table shows the approximate speed of sound at 0 degrees centigrade, measured in meters per second, when traveling through carbon dioxide, air, helium, and hydrogen.

Medium	Speed (Meters per Second)
Carbon dioxide	258.0
Air	331.5
Helium	972.0
Hydrogen	1,270.0

Write a program that displays a menu allowing the user to select one of these four gases. After a selection has been made, the user should enter the number of seconds it took for the sound to travel in this medium from its source to the location at which it was detected. The program should then report how far away (in meters) the source of the sound was from the detection location.

Input Validation: Check that the user has selected one of the available menu choices. Do not accept times less than 0 seconds or more than 30 seconds.

Write a FancyCar class to support basic operations such as drive, add gas, honk horn, and start engine. FancyCar.java is provided with method stubs. Follow each step to gradually complete all methods. Note: This program is designed for incremental development. Complete each step and submit for grading before starting the next step. Only a portion of tests pass after each step but confirm progress. The main() method includes basic method calls. Add statements in main() as methods are completed to support development mode testing. Step 0. Declare private fields for miles driven as shown on the odometer (int), gallons of gas in tank (double), miles per gallon or MPG (double), driving capacity (double), and car model (String). Note the provided final variable indicates the gas tank capacity of 14.0 gallons. Step 1 (2 pts). 1) Complete the default constructor by initializing the odometer to five miles, tank is full of gas, miles per gallon is 24.0, and the model is "Old Clunker". 2)…
