How do you add air resistance to these 2 equations?
#1 sqrt(2 * d / g) = time until impact
#2 sqrt(2 * d * g) = velocity on impact
The equation for air resistance is:
Fd = 0.5 * Air Density * Velocity ^2 * Frontal Area * Drag Coefficient
How would you combine this equation with the above two?
edit: I thought I figured it out doing:
sqrt((2*d/g)/(p*A*Cd))
sqrt(2*d*g)*(p*A*Cd)
I got the right answer it seemed, but I must have been using just the right variables. When I changed the fluid density from 1.2929 (Earth's Atmosphere) to 1000 (water), the answer was definitely wrong.
