Question

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 gt2 The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8 m/s^2 , and t is the amount of time, in seconds, that the object has been falling. Write a program named falling Distance that accepts an object’s falling time (in seconds starting from 0, 1, 3, …, 10) as an argument using c++ programming

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here is the code which takes the object's falling time as the user input.

Then, it finds the distance travelled while falling using (1/2) * g * t * t

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{   
float t;
cout<<"Enter object's falling time: ";
cin>>t;
  
float d = (9.8*t*t)/2.0;
  
cout<<"Distance travelled: "<<d;
  
return 0;
}
