16) Write three Python statements. The first should read a number from the user that
represents a temperature in Fahrenheit, placing the value into a variable named f. The
second statement should convert the value into Celsius, placing the result into a
 variable named c. The third statement should print the values of f and c with a
descriptive notation. [oc=5/9(of-32)]

17) The kinetic energy of a moving object is given by the formula KE=(1/2)mv2 , where
m is the object’s mass and v is its velocity. An object’s momentum is its mass
multiplied by its velocity. Write a program that accepts an object’s mass (in
kilograms) and velocity (in meters per second) as inputs and then outputs its kinetic
energy as well as its momentum.

18) You can calculate the surface area of a cube if you know the length of an edge. Write
a program that takes the length of an edge (an integer) as input and prints the cube’s
surface area as output.

19) Five Star Video rents new videos for $3.00 a night and oldies for $2.00 a night. Write
a program that the clerks at Five Star Video can use to calculate the total charge for a
customer’s video rentals. The program should prompt the user for the number of each
type of video and output the total cost

20) Write a program that calculates and prints the number of seconds in a year. (Year=365
days)

21) Light travels at 3 * 108 meters per second. A light-year is the distance a light beam
travels in one year. Write a program that calculates and displays the value of a light-
year. [Light year = speed of light * number of seconds in a year]

22) Write a series of Python statements that will first ask the user to type today’s
exchange rate between US Dollars and Euros (Ex. 1 United States Dollar equals
0.89 Euro). Next, ask the user to type a value in Dollars. Finally, print the equivalent
value in Euros.

23) An employee’s total weekly pay equals the hourly wage multiplied by the total
number of regular hours plus any overtime pay. Overtime pay equals the total
overtime hours multiplied by 1.5 times the hourly wage. Write a program that takes as
inputs the hourly wage, total regular hours, and total overtime hours and displays an
employee’s total weekly pay.

difference and product.
26) Write a series of Python statements that will read a number from the user that
represents the radius of a circle. Then use a print statement to show the circles
diameter, circumference and area. You can import the math module and use the
constant math.pi to represent the constant π.

27) The math module includes a pow function that raises a number to a given power. The
first argument is the number, and the second argument is the exponent. Write a code
segment that imports this function and calls it to print the values 82 and 54.

variable named x. Then write a print statement that will print the values x, x 2, x3and
x4. Use tab characters to separate the four resulting values. Write a second print
statement, but use newline characters instead of tab stops.

33) Write a Python program that prompts the user for two integer values and displays the
result of the first number divided by the second, with exactly two decimal places
displayed.

34) Write a Python program that prompts the user for two floating-point values and

All floating-point results should be displayed with two decimal places of accuracy. In
addition, all values should be displayed with commas where appropriate.
