Chapter 3, Problem 2PP

Write a program to gauge the rate of inflation for the past year. The program asks for the price of an item (such as a hot dog or a one-carat diamond) both one year ago and today. It estimates the inflation rate as the difference in price divided by the year-ago price. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes. Define a function to compute the rate of inflation. The inflation rate should be a value of type double giving the rate as a percentage, for example 5.3 for 5.3 % .

In physics, an object that is in motion is said to have kinetic energy. The following formula can be used to determine a moving object's kinetic energy: KE = ½ m v2 The variables in the formula are as follows: KE is the kinetic energy, m is the object's mass in kilograms, and v is the object's velocity, in meters per second. Write a function named kineticEnergy that accepts an object's mass (in kilograms) and velocity (in meters per second) as arguments. The function should return the amount of kinetic energy that the object has. Demonstrate the function by calling it in a program that asks the user to enter values for mass and velocity.

Code should be in Python, please Toll roads have different fees based on the time of day and on weekends. 1. Write a function calc_toll() that has three parameters: the current hour of time (int), whether the time is morning (boolean), and whether the day is a weekend (boolean). The function returns the correct toll fee (float), based on the chart below. Weekday Tolls Before 7:00 am ($1.15) 7:00 am to 9:59 am ($2.95) 10:00 am to 2:59 pm ($1.90) 3:00 pm to 7:59 pm ($3.95) Starting 8:00 pm ($1.40) Weekend Tolls Before 7:00 am ($1.05) 7:00 am to 7:59 pm ($2.15) Starting 8:00 pm ($1.10) Ex: The function calls below, with the given arguments, will return the following toll fees: calc_toll(8, True, False) returns 2.95calc_toll(1, False, False) returns 1.90calc_toll(3, False, True) returns 2.15calc_toll(5, True, True) returns 1.05
