    Calculating Time of Freefalling Sphere w/Drag and Varying Air Density

    Thanks for the reply. With the simple model you mention, does the drag proportional to v3 replace the drag proportional to v2? With regards to the function for density, I think the calculus is getting too complicated. I am looking at freefall near space and want to model time taken to return the...

    Calculating Time of Freefalling Sphere w/Drag and Varying Air Density

    I am looking at the problem of a freefalling sphere and want to calculate time taken to fall a distance. I want to model drag as well as take account of the varying density in the atmosphere. I am using Drag = 1/2*A*Cd*v2*ρ; A - cross-sectional area, Cd - drag coefficient, v2 - velocity...
