Falling with air resistance: Compare the the a vs.t, v vs. t, x vs. t curves with air resistance to those without it.

Solution Define downward as negative. The a vs.t, v vs. t, x vs. t for air resistance and no air resistance are shown below.      Figure 1: Dropped object with no air resistance Figure 2: Dropped object with air resistance
