Free fall height solution (air drag)

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

Formula(s) and Quantity(-ies)

$x (t) = x_{0} + v_{0} t - \frac{v_{\infty}^{2}}{g} \ln \cosh (\frac{g t}{v_{\infty}})$
$v_{0}$ represents free fall initial velocity
$x_{0}$ represents free fall initial height
$t$ represents time
$g$ represents gravitational acceleration
$v_{\infty}$ represents free fall terminal velocity
$x$ represents free fall height
