ENGR 2304 Lonestar College Functions Falling Distance Worksheet

Overview

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: d = ½* g*t2 And the velocity of the object falling is calculated as v=g*t

The variables in the formula are as follows:

  • d is the distance in meter,
  • g is 9.8, gravity acceleration constant in m/s2,
  • t is the amount of time, in seconds, that the object has been falling.
  • v is the velocity of the object in m/s

So for instance, you're standing at the edge of a cliff and drop a ball. It takes 10 sec to hit the ground. How high up are you? And what was the velocity of the ball?

Write two functions:

  • a function named falling_distance that accepts an object's falling time (in seconds) as an argument.
  • a function names falling_velocity that accepts an object's falling time (in seconds) as an argument.
  • you should round your d and v up to two decimals inside your functions.

The function should return the distance, in meter, and velocity in m/s for the object has fallen during that time interval. Also print the put put in f-print style.

Example: The falling distance for an object to have a free fall for 10 second is 490.0 meter. It's falling velocity will be 98.0 m/s.

Write a program that calls the function in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as arguments and displays the return values.
