How do I calculate the work due to air drag when throwing a ball in the air?

[QUOTE="Eater, post: 5448021, member: 591437"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] There isn't really a "problem statement", but more so a conceptual prompt. Say you throw a ball in the air with some velocity V. The work done due to gravity and drag is Mgh + F[SUB]drag[/SUB]d. What I don't know how to do (and there is no additional information, the prompt is very open ended) is how to find that "d", or if that "d" is relevant at all. Perhaps I'm taking the wrong approach to this. Know that this data needs to be graphed as a function of time through coding, but that part I can do just fine. It's simply the conceptual part of the equation that I'm not getting. To make it clear, I'm not sure how to find the work due to gravity and drag on a ball thrown into the air with some velocity V. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] F = kv[SUP]2[/SUP], F = 1/2ρ*V[SUP]2[/SUP]A [/QUOTE]
