Falling mp3 Players : Physics tells us that if you drop an mp3 player from some height h, its speed when it hits the ground

Falling mp3 Players: Physics tells us that if you drop an mp3 player from some height h, its speed when it hits the ground will be given by the square root of 2gh where g is a physics constant: 32 feet per second per second. So if we drop it from 100 feet we have: 2 times 32 times 100 or 6400 and taking the square root of that we get 80 in units of feet per second. But who can think in terms of feet per second? So let's convert that to mile per hour by multiplying by (1 mile per 5280 feet) and (3600 seconds per 1 hour): 80 times 3600 divided by 5280 and we have 54.5 miles per hour. Ouch! There goes our mp3. (Don't try this at home!) So: you are to write a program named TerminalVelocity that reads (without any prompt) in the height of an object (like an mp3 player, or iron ball which is probably what Galileo used since he didn't have any mp3 players and was to smart too drop one anyway) in feet and prints out a single line of output: TERMINAL VELOCITY: nnn MILES PER HOUR where nnn is the speed when striking the ground that your program calculated.
