The surface of Venus is said to be without any features except for randomly size

Question

The surface of Venus is said to be without any features except for randomly sized craters in random locations. A map from Monte Carlo simulation of meteors hitting a smooth spherical planet was essentially identical to a map produced by satellite radar.

Create a Monte Carlo simulation of meteor craters on Venus.

Meteor diameter

Crater diameter

Impacts per million years

50 m

2000 m

100

5m

360 m

10000

Assume that the surface of Venus is a flat circular disk with a radius of 6050 km. Assume all meteor paths are perpendicular to the model of Venus as a flat disk. Assume that two sizes of meteors will hit Venus, each size has a different probability of hitting Venus, and each meteor of the same diameter will produce a crater of the same diameter.

a) Use a C program to predict the number of meteors of each size expected to impact Venus in a 1000 year interval, Have your program print out the sizes of meteors during the run.

Explanation / Answer

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int diameter, location,years=100,i;
printf("Enter diamater of Meteor ");
scanf("%d",&diameter);
printf("Enter location in meters: ");
scanf("%d",location);
printf("diamater location years");
return 0;
for(i=100;i<10000;i++){
if((years%100)==0){
printf("%d %d %d ",diameter,location,years);
diameter=diameter-(diameter*0.4);
location = location-(location*0.4);
}
else{
years++;
}
  
}
}
