Question

Analyze the flight of a projectile moving under the influence of gravity (mg) and linear, i.e., laminar- flow drag (fD = bv, with b > 0 constant). Neglect \Phase I"; assume the projectile is launched from the origin at speed v1 and angle 1 above the horizontal. WARNING: Neither the results for the drag-free projectile nor those for the projectile with turbulent- flow drag can be applied directly to this problem; you must go back to basic principles. Part a) Write the equations of motion for the velocity components vx and vy of the projectile Part b) Determine the velocity components vx(t) and vy (t) of the projectile, as functions of time. Part c) Determine the position coordinates x(t) and y(t) of the projectile, as functions of time. I believe I have an idea for part b and c but cannot figure out how to put it in component form on part a.
