I've been putting together a two part equation for showing the motion of an object falling before and after deploying a parachute for a personal project but I keep getting stuck at this modelling stage.
If resultant force downwards follows the equation:
F = mg - kv^2,
acceleration is:
a = g - (k/m)v^2
Here, k is the coefficient determining drag force (coefficient of friction of chute* effective area* density of air*1/2).
Any help in obtaining values for x and v using differential equations?
Cheers!
