Need help writing a script [Python]

Thanks

 

Do this: http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/python

for like an hour and you'll be able to do that problem very easily.

 

What are the formulas for each thing you need to find?

 

p = mv, don't know about energy though

It's super basic. Take in input of m and v, do formula. Take in input for things needed for kinetic energy (if necessary), do formula.

I don't know Python and I don't care to learn it for the sake of this thread, but what you should look up is how to get input and print into a console window. Then just do the math, i.e. p = m*v; and your assignment will be done.

 

With python 3.3.2

mass = eval(input("Enter mass: "))
velocity = eval(input("Enter velocity: "))

print("Momentum:", mass*velocity)

 

Don't teach bad things. It should be at least float instead:

mass = float(input("Enter mass: "))
velocity = float(input("Enter velocity: "))
print("Momentum:", mass*velocity)
