mathematical expression	nonlinear expression

Available identifiers

modeling the fall of point-like objects by the laws of classical mechanics, including aerodynamic drag and assuming a uniform gravitational field

Defining Formula: $\begin{matrix} \dot{x} & = & v \\ \dot{v} & = & - g + \frac{1}{2 m} ρ C_{D} A v^{2} \end{matrix}$
$A$ represents cross section
$C_{D}$ represents drag coefficient
$ρ$ represents density of air
$g$ represents gravitational acceleration
$m$ represents free fall mass
$t$ represents time
$v$ represents free fall velocity
$x$ represents free fall height
