Exercise 2.1: Another ball dropped from a tower
A ball is dropped from a tower of height h with initial velocity zero. Write a program that asks the user to enter the height in meters of the tower and then calculates and prints the time the ball takes until it hits the ground, ignoring air resistance. Use your program to calculate the time for a ball dropped from a 100 m high tower.
Exercise 2.4:
A spaceship travels from Earth in a straight line at relativistic speed v to another planet x light years away. Write a program to ask the user for the value of x and the speed v as a fraction of the speed of light c, then print out the time in years that the spaceship takes to reach its destination (a) in the rest frame of an observer on Earth and (b) as perceived by a passenger on board the ship. Use your program to calculate the answers for a planet 10 light years away with v = 0.99c.
