Loops are very useful for doing the same calculation over and over, very quickly.

In this problem, we will use a loop to call a function with different inputs, and store the result in an array.

You are doing an experiment where you are trying to experimentally calculate the air resistance on falling objects. To calculate this resistance, you build an apparatus that will release objects with different initial velocities at different distances. You also set up a system for measuring the exact time it takes each object to fall.

To do your air resistance calculation, you need a theoretical comparison for the amount of time it takes an object to fall in a vacuum. Thankfully you already have that function (please download fallTime. m from Canvas)! What you do not have yet is a way to call that function repeatedly for all of the distance and velocity data you have!

Write a function called timeLoop. It should take two inputs, arrays for initial velocity and distance. These two input arrays will always have equivalent lengths, as the indices of these arrays correspond to the same data point from your experiment. It should return one output, an array for the theoretical amount of time it would take for the object moving at that initial velocity to fall that distance. To accomplish this task, you should call fallTime. m inside of a loop.

For example, if you called timeLoop with the input array [2 -3 5] for initial velocities (negative numbers mean the object was moving upwards initially) and [100 150 300] for distances, your function call and resulting output would look like this:

IN Matlab

%This function calculates how long it takes an object to fall a certain
%distance given a certain initial velocity and a distance

function time = fallTime(startVelocity, distance)

g = 9.81; %m/s^2

finalVelocity = sqrt(startVelocity^2 + 2*g*distance); %m/s

time = (finalVelocity - startVelocity)/g; %s

For this assignment you have to write a c program that will take an infix expression as input and display the postfix expression of the input. after converting to the postfix expression, the program should evaluate the expression from the postfix and display the result. what should you submit? write all the code in a single file and upload the .c file. compliance with rules: ucf golden rules apply towards this assignment and submission. assignment rules mentioned in syllabus, are also applied in this submission. the ta and instructor can call any students for explaining any part of the code in order to better assess your authorship and for further clarification if needed. problem: we as humans write math expression in infix notation, e. g. 5 + 2 (the operators are written in-between the operands). in computer's language, however, it is preferred to have the operators on the right side of the operands, ie. 5 2 +. for more complex expressions that include parenthesis and multiple operators, a compiler has to convert the expression into postfix first and then evaluate the resulting postfix write a program that takes an "infix" expression as input, uses stacks to convert it into postfix expression, and finally evaluates it. it must support the following operations: + - / * ^ % ( example infix expression: (7-3)/(2+2) postfix expression: 7 3 2 2 result: rubric: 1) if code does not compile in eustis server: 0. 2) checking the balance of the parenthesis: 2 points 3) incorrect postfix expression per test case: -2 points 4) correct postfix but incorrect evaluation per test case: -i points 5) handling single digit inputs: maximum 11 points 6) handling two-digit inputs: 100 percent (if pass all test cases)

Assume the existence of a bankaccount class. define a derived class, savingsaccount that contains two instance variables: the first a double, named interestrate, and the second an integer named interesttype. the value of the interesttype variable can be 1 for simple interest and 2 for compound interest. there is also a constructor that accepts two parameters: a double that is used to initialize the interestrate variable, and a string that you may assume will contain either "simple", or "compound", and which should be used to initialize the interesttype variable appropriately. there should also be a pair of functions getinterestrate and getinteresttype that return the values of the corresponding data members (as double and int respectively).
