Question

Python Coding Question: Reluctant toddler. A three-year-old has been instructed to go to bed, but he's really not on board. En route to his bedroom, every second he travels only 90% as far as he traveled in the previous second. Write a program that asks the user how many feet the child traveled during the first second (in other words, his initial speed), then reports a) how far he traveled in total after 30 seconds, and b) his speed (in feet per second) during that last second.

As a check, a toddler who starts at 5 ft/s will have traveled about 47.88 ft in 30 seconds; in the last second his speed will be about 0.212 ft/s.

Answer 1

#Getting the inputs from Keyboard

speed = float(input('Enter the Initial Speed in Ft/sec '))

seconds = 30

#initialising the total distance with 0

distance = float(0)

#using while loop to calculate the Distance and final speed

while(seconds > 0):

    distance += speed

    speed = speed*0.9

    seconds = seconds-1

# Printing the Results

print('Total Distance after 30 seconds: ',distance,' Feet')

print('Final Speed: ',speed,' Ft/Sec')

Output:
