PROGRAM IN C++ The distance a vehicle travels can be calculated using the following equation: distance = speed * time For example, if a train travels 40 miles per hour for 3 hours, the distance traveled is 120 miles. Write a program that asks the user for the speed of a vehicle (in miles per hour) and how many hours it has traveled. The program should then use a loop to display the distance the vehicle has traveled for each...
