    4-036-AltitudeDependentGravity-ModelingScenario
    When projectiles are way above Earth's surface gravity's changes become important when dealing with projectiles at high altitudes. We lay out an approach for such a case which is a second-order differential equation.

    3-065-UpDown-ModelingScenario
    We model the height of a launched object which is subject to resistance proportional to velocity during its flight. We ask questions about the motion as well, e.g., highest point or apex and terminal velocity.
