n physics, a common useful equation for finding the position s of a body in linear motion at a given time t, based on its initial position s0, initial velocity v0, and rate of acceleration a, is the following: s = s0 + v0 t + ½ at2 Write code to declare variables for s0 with a value of 12.0, v0 with a value of 3.5, a with a value of 9.8, and t with a value of 10, and then write the code to compute s on the basis of these values. At the end of your code, print the value of your variable s to the console.

I presume the 2 at the end of the formula is a typo (as the 2 and half will cancel each other out if it means to multiply by 2)

pseudocode excludes it: float s0 = 12.0
float v0 = 3.5
float a = 9.8
float t = 10
s = s0 + v0 * t + (a * t) / 2 Output(s)
