I have this problem with and equation that looks like
dv/dt = g - c/m * v
any help would be much appreciated.
 
Hello, kpoconno!

I have this equation: dv/dt = g - (c/m)v
First, I'd let c/m = a . . . so the equation is: .dv/dt .= .g - av

. . And we have: .dv/dt + av .= .g

. . Then use the integrating factor: .I .= .e<sup>(∫ a dt)</sup> .= .e<sup>at</sup>

Can you finish it now?
