analytical solution to the free fall equation, including aerodynamic drag and assuming a uniform gravitational field

Defining Formula: $\begin{array}{ccc}x(t)& =& x_0+v_{0}t-\frac{v_{\mathrm{\infty }}^2}{g}\ln \cosh \left(\frac{gt}{v_{\mathrm{\infty }}}\right)\\ v(t)& =& v_0+v_{\mathrm{\infty }}\tanh \left(\frac{gt}{v_{\mathrm{\infty }}}\right)\end{array}$

$v_0$ represents free fall initial velocity

$x_0$ represents free fall initial height

$t$ represents time

$g$ represents gravitational acceleration

$v_{\mathrm{\infty }}$ represents free fall terminal velocity

$x$ represents free fall height

$v$ represents free fall velocity

List of assumptions

uniform gravitational acceleration
