Question

PYTHON HOMEWORK

When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used ot determine the distance the object falls during a specific time period:
d=1/2 g t^2
The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters(m), g is the acceleration due to gravity, an and its value is 9.8 m/s^2, t is the time duration in seconds(s).
Write a function named falling_distance() that accepts an object's falling duration(time) in seconds as an argument. The function ten prints the distance in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval. Write a program (main) that prompts the user to enter time duration and then calls the function falling_distance() to print the object's falling distance.

Answer 1

CODE

=============

def falling_distance(time):

distance = 0.5 * 9.8 * (time ^ 2)

print("Distance that the object has fallen during this time interval = %.2f meters" %distance)

def main():

time = int(input("Enter the time duration: "))

falling_distance(time)

if __name__ == "__main__":

main()
