Homework Statement


perform a calculation for an object moving vertically in air under gravity and experiencing a retarding force proportional to the square of the objects speed. see (W=.5(cwpAv2)

Object is dropped off a 100 meter building from rest.
radius of object = .0366m
mass = .145 kg
cw=.5


Homework Equations


F= -mg-W


The Attempt at a Solution



trying to find the velocity I get v=((e^(-2kx)-g)/k)^.5 where k= .5cwpA

but when I graph it for high values of k I get no graph

Presumably, you have solved a differential equation. what is that equation and how did you get the solution. What does the statement "perform a calculation for an object ..." mean? What are we calculating? You need to be clearer so we can help you.
