: 2m/k(sqrt[v0]-sqrt[v]) + 2m^2g/k^2* ln[(mg-kSqrt[v0])/(mg-kSqrt[v])] = t
Colin,
They DID make two integrals out of it.
Look at that integral: INT dv/[g - c*Sqrt(v)]
It will take a substitution: u = Sqrt(v).
Then v = u^2, and dv = 2u du
The integral becomes: INT 2u du/(g - cu),
which will require some long division (or some
trick like "adding zero").
And THAT's why there are two integrals.
