Calculates the time required, distance fallen, and impact force for the free fall of an object subject to air resistance.
(I modeled this after the "Free Fall with Air Resistance (Calculated from Time or Height)" formula in the Physics Formula Collection.)
[Gravitational acceleration g
[m/s²]
Mass m
Aerodynamic drag coefficient k
kg/m
Falling speed v
Deceleration time t1
sec
Elapsed time t2 sec
Drop distance h m
Impact force f N
= kgf
The default value for the drag coefficient k is based on values used in skydiving.
