1. Mathematically explain in Detail how Newton's cradles work. Be able to use your understanding of how Newton's cradles work to create a physics equation/formula that can be used in any situation.

*** Using Python ***

Your program must prompt the user for their city or zip code and request weather forecast data from openweathermap.org. Your program must display the weather information in an READABLE format to the user.

Requirements:

• Create a Python Application which asks the user for their zip code or city.
• Use the zip code or city name in order to obtain weather forecast data from: http://openweathermap.org/
• Display the weather forecast in a readable format to the user.
• Use comments within the application where appropriate in order to document what the program is doing.
• Use functions including a main function.
• Allow the user to run the program multiple times.
• Validate whether the user entered valid data. If valid data isn’t presented notify the user.
• Use the Requests library in order to request data from the webservice.
• Use Python 3.
• Use try blocks when establishing connections to the webservice. You must print a message to the user indicating whether or not the connection was successful.

A study of undergraduate computer science students examined changes in major after the first year. The study examined the fates of 256 students who enrolled as first-year students in the same fall semester. The students were classified according to gender and their declared major at the beginning of the second year. The students studied were enrolled at a large Midwestern university several years ago. Discuss how you would conduct a similar study at a college or university of your choice today. Include a description of all variables that you would collect for your study.
