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:
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.
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

- (Statics) A beam’s second moment of inertia, also known as its area moment of inertia, is used to determine its resistance to bending and deflection. For a rectangular beam (see Figure 6.6), the second moment of inertia is given by this formula: Ibh3/12 I is the second moment of inertia (m4). b is the base (m). h is the height (m). a. Using this formula, write a function called beamMoment() that accepts two double- precision numbers as parameters (one for the base and one for the height), calculates the corresponding second moment of inertia, and displays the result. b. Include the function written in Exercise 4a in a working program. Make sure your function is called from main(). Test the function by passing various data to it.arrow_forward(Physics) Buoyancy is the upward force a liquid exerts on a submerged object, as shown in Figure 6.9. The buoyancy force is given by this formula: B=pgV Bisthebuoyancyforce( lbforN).isthefluiddensity( slug/f t 3 orkg/ m 3 ).gistheaccelerationcausedbygravity( 32.2ft/se c 2 or9.8m/ s 2 ).Vistheobjectsvolume( f t 3 or m 3 ). a. Using this formula, write a function named buoyantForce(double ro, double vol, int units) that accepts a fluid density, the volume of an object placed in the fluid, and the units to be used(1=U.S.Customaryunits,2=metricunits), and returns the buoyancy force exerted on the object. b. Include the function written for Exercise 6a in a working C++ program, and use your program to complete the following chart:arrow_forward(Numerical) Heron’s formula for the area, A, of a triangle with sides of length a, b, and c is A=s(sa)(sb)(sc) where s=(a+b+c)2 Write, test, and execute a function that accepts the values of a, b, and c as parameters from a calling function, and then calculates the values of sand[s(sa)(sb)(sc)]. If this quantity is positive, the function calculates A. If the quantity is negative, a, b, and c do not form a triangle, and the function should set A=1. The value of A should be returned by the function.arrow_forward
- (General math) a. Write a function named rightTriangle() that accepts the lengths of two sides of a right triangle as the arguments a and b. The subroutine should determine and return the hypotenuse, c, of the triangle. (Hint:UsePythagorastheorem,c2=a2+b2.) b. Include the function written for Exercise 4a in a working program. The main() function should call rightTriangle() correctly and display the value the function returns.arrow_forwardIn physics, an object that is in motion is said to have kinetic energy. The following formula can be used to determine a moving object’s kinetic energy:KE=12mv2The variables in the formula are as follows: KE is the kinetic energy, m is the object’s mass in kilograms, and v is the object’s velocity in meters per second. Write a function named kinetic_energy that accepts an object’s mass (in kilograms) and velocity (in meters per second) as arguments. The function should return the amount of kinetic energy that the object has. Write a program that asks the user to enter values for mass andvelocity, then calls the kinetic_energy function to get the object’s kinetic energy.arrow_forwardIn physics, an object that is in motion is said to have kinetic energy. The following formula can be used to determine a moving object's kinetic energy: KE = ½ m v2 The variables in the formula are as follows: KE is the kinetic energy, m is the object's mass in kilograms, and v is the object's velocity, in meters per second. Write a function named kineticEnergy that accepts an object's mass (in kilograms) and velocity (in meters per second) as arguments. The function should return the amount of kinetic energy that the object has. Demonstrate the function by calling it in a program that asks the user to enter values for mass and velocity.arrow_forward

Write a function named "download_time" that takes an integer as a parameter. The parameter represents the size of a file in Gigabytes that you want to download. The function should return the number of seconds it will take to download that file if your download speed is 41 Megabits per second. To convert the file size from Gigabytes to Megabits remember that 1 Gigabyte equals 1000 Megabytes and that 1 Megabyte equals 8 Megabits.arrow_forward

The function should convert the radians into degrees and then return that value.arrow_forwardWhat are the benefits of using a function?arrow_forwardFunction Name: leapYear Parameters: year – an nonnegative integer representing the year Test Cases: >>>leapYear(1996) The year 1996 is a leap year. Enjoy your extra day! >>>leapYear(1901) The year 1901 is not a leap year. Description: Write a function which calculates whether or not a given year is a leap year and has 366 days instead of 365. A general algorithm is as follows: 1. A year will be a leap year if it is divisible by 4 but not by 100. 2. If a year is divisible by 4 and by 100, it is not a leap year unless it is also divisible by 400. Years such as 1996, 1992, 1988 and so on are leap years because they are divisible by 4 but not by 100. For century years, the 400 rule is important. Century years (ex: 1900, 1800, 1700) are exactly divisible by 4 AND exactly divisible by 100. They are not divisible by 400 and are thus not leap years. You fuction should print out "The year XXXX is a leap year. Enjoy your extra day!" if the year XXXX is a leap year. Print "The…arrow_forward
