Derive the differential equation(s) describing the given physical situation.

Determine the equations of motion if the projectile in Problem 12 encounters a retarding force k (of magnitude k) acting tangent to the path but opposite to the motion. See Figure 1.21. [Hint: k is a multiple of the velocity, say cv.]

Problem 12:

A projectile shot from a gun has weight w = mg and velocity v tangent to its path of motion. Ignoring air resistance and all other forces except its weight, find the system of differential equations that describes the motion. See Figure 1.20. [Hint: Use Newton's second law in the x and y direction.]
