Question 63

An algorithm is designed to simulate the vertical motion of a falling object under gravity using Euler's method with a time step of 0.1 s until it hits the ground. The pseudo-code for this algorithm is shown below:

1  t ← 0
2  y ← 100
3  v ← 0
4  dt ← 0.1
5  WHILE y > 0 DO
6      v ← v - 9.81 * dt
7      y ← y + v * dt
8      t ← t + dt
9  ENDWHILE
10 OUTPUT t
