Group Assignment (5%) – (DUE DATE: 2 DECEMBER}

Projectile Motion

Write a program to provide information on the height of a ball thrown staright up into the
air. The program should request as input the initial height, h feet, and the initial velocity, v
feet per second. The height of the ball (in feet) after t seconds is given by the formula h + vt
+ 16t2 feet. The four options to be provided by buttons are as follows:

a) Determine the maximum height of the ball. (Note: The ball will reach its maximum
height after v/32 seconds.
b) Determine approximately when the ball will hit the ground. (Hint: Calculate the
height after every 0.1 second and determine when the height is no longer a positive
number.
c) Display a table showing the height of the ball every 0.25 second for 5 seconds or
until it hits the ground.
d) Quit
