Question

An m pound vehicle traveling on a road at a velocity of v0 ft/sec requires a retarding force of F = ma
to stop, where a = (vi^2 - vf^2 )/(2d), (vi = 0). Write a program that calculates the magnitude of the retarding force
needed to stop the car at distances d=10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 ft. The program asks the user to input the
weight of the car m and the initial velocity v0 . It then outputs the values of d and F in a table format. You can use
the math library function pow(x,y) to compute xy . To link the math library compile as follows: gcc -lm problem3.c.
Sample program execution:
Enter the weight of the car in pounds>20
Enter the initial velocity>100

it should look like this:

d F
10 10000
20 5000
30 3333
40 2500
50 2000
60 1667
70 1429
80 1250
90 1111
100 1000



please use the basic c programming

Explanation / Answer

//Header file section

#include<stdio.h>

#include<math.h>

void main()

{

int distance,force,mass,a,vf;

clrscr();

printf("Enter the weight of car in pounds:");

scanf("%d",&mass);

printf("Enter initial velocity:");

scanf("%d",&vf);

/*outputting data*/

printf(" D F");

//loop repeats up to 100

for(distance=10;distance<=100;distance+=10)

{

        a=pow(vf,2)/(2*distance);

       force=mass*a;

        printf(" %d %d",distance,force);

}

getch();

}//end main
