This set of tutorial materials covers the topic of velocity dependent forces. Students examine qualitatively and quantitatively the motion of objects being acted upon by a velocity dependent force, exemplified by the motion of objects experiencing air resistance. Students analyze and solve the equations of motion to develop an understanding of the physical parameters in the problem. This material includes a tutorial, pretest, homework, test questions, and instructor notes.

This is part of a large collection of tutorial materials in intermediate classical mechanics.
