Paper For Above instruction

The programmed task requires developing a C application that computes the trajectory parameters of a projectile—specifically modeled as a watermelon in this context. The primary functions of this program involve prompting the user to input the initial velocity and launch angle, validating these inputs, and then calculating either the time of flight, maximum height, or horizontal range based on user selection. To achieve modularity, dedicated functions are implemented for each calculation, ensuring they do not directly output results, adhering to good programming practices. Comprehensive input validation is crucial, allowing users three attempts to reenter correct data before terminating the program with appropriate messaging.

The initial part of the C program includes a specially formatted comment block containing submission metadata, followed by comments describing the program's purpose, thereby enhancing code maintainability and documentation. The program commences by displaying the author’s name as the first output, establishing clear identification. The core logic involves gathering user inputs, validating them within specified ranges (initial velocity between 10–1000 m/s and launch angle from 1–89 degrees), and providing reentry opportunities upon invalid attempts. Once valid data are obtained, the program calculates the requested parameter based on classical physics formulas:

  • Maximum Height: \(\text{H}_{max} = \frac{(V_0 \sin \theta)^2}{2g}\)
  • Horizontal Range: \(\text{R} = \frac{V_0^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}\)
  • Time of Flight: \(\text{T} = \frac{2V_0 \sin \theta}{g}\)

Here, \(V_0\) is the initial velocity, \(\theta\) is the launch angle (converted to radians), and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (~9.81 m/s²). The program solicits user input for the desired calculation and calls the respective functions to perform these physics calculations, ensuring results are stored and returned without direct printing within each calculation function.

Input validation is handled through loops that permit up to three reentry attempts. If all attempts fail, a message is displayed, and the program terminates gracefully. Additional comments within the source code clarify the program design, enhancing readability and maintainability. Proper indentation and spacing are maintained throughout the code for clarity. The program ends with a submission instruction to submit the source file with an appropriate filename pattern, e.g., yourusername_homeworknumber_cs223.
