Question: Brutus the labrador retriever loves to chase tennis balls all day long. You can calculate how far...

Brutus the labrador retriever loves to chase tennis balls all day long. You can calculate how far he has run using this formula:

distance = speed * time

As an example, Brutus ran for two hours and ran 15 kilometers per hour. So, (15 kph) * (2 hours) = 30 kilometers.

Write a program that Brutus's owner can use to track his distance. It should:

Allow Brutus's owner to input the speed of his dog

Allow Brutus's owner to input the hours Brutus was playing fetch

Loop to display the distance Brutus ran for each hour like this:

How long did Brutus play fetch? 3
How fast did Brutus run? 12

==========================================
Hour Brutus's Distance
==========================================
1 12 km
2 24 km
3 36 km

Helpful Hint: you've already ready about escape sequences in Lesson 1, but it is useful to really see them in practice. You can make your outputs prettier and more precise by using tabs to seperate your text. To add a tab to a string in Python, you use what's called an escape sequence to represent the tab: \t. An escape sequence tells the program not to literally print \t but to treat it as a tab. To create the the output header for Brutus, you would type something like this:

print('Hour\tBrutus\'s Distance')

please us python. please write a simple script I can understand. thanks

Answer 1

Feel free to ask any doubts and give feedback!

(Be careful about indentation when you copy and paste the code, therefore I have pasted screenhot of output as well as code)

Output:

CODE(python 3):

#take 2 inputs

time=int(input('How long did Brutus play fetch? '))

speed=int(input('How fast did Brutus run? '))

#print as specified in the question

print('===============================')

print('Hour\tBrutus\'s Distance')

print('===============================')

# for every hour between 1 to 'time', find the distance travelled using formula d=t*v,

# where t is time, v is velocity

for i in range(1,time+1):

distance=i*speed

print(str(i)+'\t'+str(distance)+' km')
