Falling Distance
The following formula can be used to determine the distance an object falls due to gravity in a specific time period:
d =½gt2
The variables in the formula are as follows:
• d is the distance in meters,
• g is 9.8,
• and t is the time in seconds that the object has been falling.
Write a function named fallingDistance that accepts an object’s falling time (in seconds) as an argument. The function should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval. Write a

- Lowest Score Drop Write a program that calculates the average of a group of test scores, where the lowest score in the group is dropped. It should use the following functions: void getScore() should ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five scores to be entered. void calcAverage() should calculate and display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores. int findLowest() should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage, which uses the function to determine which of the five scores to drop. Input Validation: Do not accept test scores lower than 0 or higher than 100.arrow_forwardCoin Toss Write a function named coinToss that simulates the tossing of a coin. When you call the function, it should generate a random number in the range of 1 through 2. If the random number is 1, the function should display "heads". If the random number is 2, the function should display "tails". Demonstrate the function in a program that sks the user how many times the coin should be tossed and the coin then simulates the tossing of the coin that number of times.arrow_forwardA program contains the following function. int cube(int num) {return num * num * num; }Write a statement that passes the value 4 to this function and assigns its return value to the variable result.arrow_forward

Falling Distance determine the distance the object falls in a specific time period: 1 d The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8 - t is the amount of time, in seconds, that the object has been falling. Design a function named fallingDistance that accepts an seconds) as an argument. The function should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval. Design a program that calls the functiion in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as arguments and displays the return value object's falling time (inarrow_forwardDomino's Time Function Name: dominosTime() Parameters: N/A Returns: None Description: During the summer, you ordered a lot of food from Domino's. Pizzas are $12, an order of pasta is $6, and chicken wings are $8. Write a function that asks the user how many of each food item they would like, and then print a response telling them what their order to- tal will be. The order total should be an integer. >>> dominosTime() How many pizzas do you want? 3 How many orders of pasta do you want? 2 How many orders of chicken wings do you want? 2 By ordering 3 pizzas, 2 orders of pasta, and 2 orders of chicken wings, your order total comes to $64.arrow_forwardFuture Investment Value = investment amount * (1 + monthly interest)^(number of years * 12) Using this formula, write a function in Python called futureValue that prompts the user to enter an investment amount, an annual percentage interest rate, and the amount of years. The function should accept the input as arguments. The interest rate should have a default value of 7%. You can add default values of your choice for the amount of years. This function should print out a table that displays the future values. Demonstrate this function in another function called main. Format your output by two decimal places. Output Example: Enter the amount you want to invest: 1000 [Enter] Enter the interest rate for your investment: [Enter] Enter the number of years you want to invest this money: 30 [Enter] Years Future Value 1 1093.81 2 1196.41 ........ 30 14730.58arrow_forward
