Kinetic Energy 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 =1/2mv2 In the formula KE is the kinetic energy, m is the object’s mass in kilograms, and v is the object’s velocity in meters per second. Create an application that allows the user to enter an object’s mass and velocity and then displays the object’s kinetic energy. The application should have a method named KineticEnergy that accepts an object’s mass (in kilograms) and velocity (in meters per second) as arguments. The method should return the amount of kinetic energy that the object has.
Dice Simulator Create an application that simulates rolling a pair of dice. When the user clicks a button, the application should generate two random numbers, each in the range of 1 through 6, to represent the value of the dice. Use PictureBox controls to display the dice. (In the Student Sample Programs, in the Chap05 folder, you will find six images named Die1.bmp, Die2.bmp, Die3.bmp, Die4.bmp, Die5.bmp, and Die6.bmp that you can use in the PictureBoxes.)
Create an application that lets the user enter his or her weight (in pounds) and height (in inches). The application should display the user’s body mass index (BMI). The BMI is often used to determine whether a person is overweight or underweight for his or her height. A person’s BMI is calculated with the following formula: BMI = weight × 703 ÷ height2

The application should be designed with checkboxes to select the various services (such as office call, vaccination, grooming, etc). As each service is selected, the charge for the service should display in an associated label. (When the checkmark is removed, the amount should be removed). As each selection is made, the charges should be added into the total (a variable… consider scope), and displayed in a Total Due area on the application (currency format). Align all numeric data appropriately. Consider what should happen when the checkmark is removed. Include at least 8 services that your pet clinic performs. Include a Clear and Exit button. The clear should clear all checkboxes, appropriate labels, and the total variable. Use the standard Microsoft naming conventions for all controls. Include appropriate comments in your code.

- 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 =1/2gt2 The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the amount of time in seconds that the object has been falling. Create an application that allows the user to enter the amount of time that an object has fallen and then displays the distance that the object fell. The application should have a method named FallingDistance. The FallingDistance method should accept an object’s falling time (in seconds) as an argument.
