    How to graph parametric equations?

    Hi, so after doing some calculus for projectile motion with air resistance, I obtained two equations of vx(t) and vy(t) that describes the vertical and horizontal motion of the projectile. Please tell me if I'm wrong, but I believe since both vx and vy are functions of t, can't they be...

    How to model the flight kinematics of an airplane with air resistance?

    Thanks for the links and help! However, I'm a bit confused as to how the vertical and horizontal components of the differential equations associate with each other? For instance, I think the basic equation to integrate with for both the x and y components are dv/dt = a -kv^2 for each where a is...

    How to model the flight kinematics of an airplane with air resistance?

    I want to derive some equations for a 2-D airplane's motion, specifically when it lifts off and lands. Can someone show me where I can start and how I can use differential equations to develop equations like the speed/position of the airplane in its x and y components? Also, if anyone is...
