Falling Distance

When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used to determine the distance the object falls in a specific time period:

$$

d $=(1)/(2)$ gt$2$

$$

The variables in the formula are as follows:

d is the distance in meters

g is $9\mathrm{.}8($the gravitational constant$)$

t is the amount of time in seconds the object has been falling

$$

Your program will calculate the distance in meters based on the object$$s falling distance.

$$

Modularity:$$ Your program should contain $2$ functions:

main $$ will call the falling$\_$distance function in a loop, passing it the values $110$ as arguments $($seconds the object has been falling$).$ It will display the returned distance.

falling$\_$distance $$ will be passed one parameter which is the time in seconds the object has been falling and will calculate and return the distance in meters.$$ falling$\_$distance should be stored in a separate file $($module$)$ called distance.py$$ You will import distance before your main function in your original program file.

Input Validation:$$ None needed

Output:$$ Should look like this:

$$ Comments $$ Begin your program with a comment that includes: a$)$ your name, b$)$program status $$ either $$Complete$$ or describe any incomplete or non$-$functioning part of your program c$)$A $1-3$ line description of what the program does.

$$ Function comments $$ each function should begin with a comment explaining what the function does

$$ Variable names $$ use meaningful variable names such as total$\_$taxes or num$\_$cookies.

$$ Function names $$ use meaningful verb names for functions such as display$\_$taxes.

$$ Named constants $$ Use named constants for all number values that will not be changed in the program such as RECIPE$\_$SUGAR $=1\mathrm{.}5.$ See section $2\mathrm{.}9$ on Named Constants
