[QUOTE="ET333, post: 6636996, member: 701772"] [B]Homework Statement:[/B] I am currently writing a paper on conservation of energy in which I dropped a ball and calculated potential and kinetic energy. The issue I am having is that I have no idea how to incorporate drag force into my equations for P and K energy and also into my uncertainties. I have been looking every where for answers but cannot seem to find them. Please help! [B]Relevant Equations:[/B] Ke+Pe=Ke+Pe Ke= 1/2 mv^2 Pe= mgh 1.
