A body of mass
We assume that the forces acting on the body are the force of gravity and a retarding force of air resistance with direction opposite to the direction of motion and with magnitude
a) Find a differential equation for the velocity
b) Solve the differential equation in part a) and find a formula for the velocity at any time
Find a formula for the position function at any time
How does this compare with the solution to the equation for velocity when there is no air resistance?
If
We then have that
and that the positive
