Chong, Zhiwei; Wu, Zhuoyi; Wei, Yajun – Physics Education, 2022
The motion equations of a body under gravity and resistance linearly dependent on speed are usually analysed by solving differential equations. In this paper we report a derivation not explicitly involving differential equations but instead based on some elementary mathematical operations. The derivation uses only knowledge covered in a typical…
