Question

Mass m is thrown horizontally in velocity v from the top of a tower (at height h). while the mass is moving, the air resistance force is equal to f=-bv (b is a constant). find the function of the position of the mass with respect to time

Answer 1

How about:\[y=y_0 +v_yt+\frac{1}{2}g t^2+f \rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{2(y-y_0-f)}{g}}=t\]

Answer 2

what ? how did you add the force to that equation ? i think it should be solved with differential equation of v ...

Answer 3

Okay.
