Thread: A c program to evaluate the newtonian equations.

> capable of evaluating any of the three Newton's equations of motion.
a) do you actually know what they are?

b) are you able to solve them yourself on paper?

c) given an input of x, could you solve y = x + 1 and print out the value of y?

If you can do those three things, then you need to be posting YOUR attempt at the problem, rather than just dumping your assignment and expecting code on a plate.

The "skeleton" has already been provided: it is the instructions that you have been given.

So, this isn't a school assignment? It sounds like one. Salem did indeed offer you assistance; it so happens that you did not tell us that those stuff were stuff that you already know.

That's good. So, pick one of the three equations and write a simplified version of the program in which the user is prompted for the input to the equation and then the program prints the output.

If you are learning C for yourself to validate your working out in your Physics class, you are going to have to look at some tutorial/examples.

For a learning series, there is a great one here C Tutorial - Learn C - Cprogramming.com

As for some examples of "y=x+1" programs, I found some input/output here for you to look at Basic C Programs : C Programs A-Z - Basic C Programs | C Programming Examples

I'd advise that you declare your main function like this though, as you want no arguments rather than an unspecified amount

Code:

int main(void)

And of coarse, Newton's equations can be found on Wiki.
