FreeFall with Air Resistance Description

FreeFall with Air Resistance is a handy, easy to use simulation specially designed to display an object in freefall with air resistance. It will demonstrate how the forces change on the object and how the velocity and the acceleration of the object changes as it falls. This simulation uses Raleigh Drag (drag force proportional to velocity squared) according to the equation FD = 1/2 ρ v2 Cd A. The net force on the object is then the vector sum of the gravitational force (assumed constant) and the drag force.
