An object of mass m is moving horizontally through a medium which resists the motion with a force that is a function of the velocity; that is,
where
(a) Suppose that the resisting force is proportional to the velocity, that is,
(b) For larger values of v a better model is obtained by supposing that the resisting force is proportional to the square of the velocity, that is,
