TI-74: Lottery, Solving Linear Equation Script, Escape Velocity Solver

TI-74:  Lottery, Solving Linear Equation Script, Escape Velocity Solver

TI-74 Program:  Lottery

This program collects six random digits from 1 to 63.  The results are stored in an array N.  The dimension pointers of the TI-74 are from 0 to n-1. 

To execute:  RUN 200

Note:  comments (after !) are for notes, and do not need to be typed. 

200 DIM N(5)
202 INPUT "SEED: ";S
204 RANDOMIZE S
210 FOR I=0 TO 5    ! choose random numbers
212 R=INT(RND*63+1)
220 FOR J=0 TO 5   ! check to see if the random number is unique
222 IF R=N(J) THEN 212
224 NEXT J
230 N(I) = R
232 K=K+1
234 PRINT "# "&STR$(K)$": "&STR$(N(I))
236 PAUSE 1.5
240 NEXT I
242 END

TI-74 Program:  Solving Linear Equation Script

This program uses READ and DATA to execute a teaching script.

To execute:  RUN 300

300 FOR I=1 TO 5
302 READ S$  ! string variables have the dollars sign after the name
304 PRINT S$: PAUSE
306 NEXT
310 DATA "To Solve: a*x + b = c"
312 DATA "a*x + b - b = c - b"
314 DATA "a*x = c - b"
316 DATA "(a*x)/a = (c-b)/a"
318 DATA "x = (c-b)/a"
320 END

TI-74 Program:  Escape Velocity Solver

This program is in two stages:
1.  Enter data.  Use M, R, or V to enter data.  When done, press C to solve.
2.  Choose which variable to solve for. 

M = mass of the planet in kg
R = radius of the planet in km
V = escape velocity in km/s

G = Universal Gravitational Constant
= 6.672E-11 m^3/(kg*s^2) = 6.672E-20 km^3/(kg*s^2)

Equation:  V = √(2 * G * M/R)

To execute:  RUN 400

400 M=0:R=0:V=0:G=6.674E-20
402 PRINT "M MASS, R RADIUS, V VEL, CALC":K$=KEY$
406 IF K$="M" THEN 420
408 IF K$="R" THEN 430
410 IF K$="V" THEN 440
412 IF K$ = "C" THEN 450
414 GOTO 402   ! repeats loop if any other key is pressed

420 INPUT "MASS (KG): ";M
422 GOTO 402
430 INPUT "RADIUS (KM): ";R
432 GOTO 402
440 INPUT "VELOCITY (KM/S): ";V
442 GOTO 402
450 PRINT "SOLVER: M,R,V": K$=KEY$

452 IF K$="M" THEN 460
454 IF K$="R" THEN 470
456 IF K$="V" THEN 480
458 GOTO 450

460 M=V^2*R/(2*G)
462 PRINT "MASS =";M;" KG": PAUSE
464 GOTO 490
470 R=2*G*M/V^2
472 PRINT "RADIUS =";R;" KM": PAUSE
474 GOTO 490
480 V=SQR(2*G*M/R)   ! SQR is √
482 PRINT "VELOCITY =";V;" KM/S": PAUSE
484 GOTO 490

490 PRINT "AGAIN? Y/N": K$=KEY$
492 IF K$="Y" THEN 402
494 IF K$="N" THEN END
496 GOTO 490

Examples: 

Solve for V:   M: 5.9724E24 kg, R:  6374 km,  Result: V ≈ 11.178 KM/S
*Escape Velocity for Earth

Solve for M:  R: 5800 km, V: 16 km/s,  Result:  M ≈ 1.112E25 kg

Solve for R:  M: 3.8E24 kg, V: 22 km/s, Result:  R ≈ 1048.0148 km
