Find the velocity of the sphere after an arbitrary time
Calculate the velocity of a sphere at any given time after a horizontal projectile launch subject to air resistance. Note that the sphere’s surface irregularities and rotation are not taken into account.

| Velocity v at time t | (m/s) (km/h) |
| Aerodynamic drag coefficient k | (1/m) |
| Air Density ρ | (kg/m³) |
The default answer is the speed of a hardball thrown at 162 km/h under 1 atm and 0°C when it reaches the catcher (0.4 seconds later). (In this case, the critical Reynolds number is reached, so the actual speed is even faster.)
The drag coefficient always takes a value of 0 or less; the larger the value in the negative direction, the greater the air resistance.
The drag coefficient is set to 0.4.
