    1-083-FallingMeteorites-ModelingScenario
    After introducing the solution to the ordinary differential equation which models a falling object with drag (first-order, non-linear, separable), students will consider generalizing the model to a falling and disintegrating meteorite. The focus...

    3-013-WhiffleBallFall-ModelingScenario
    We are given data on the time and position of a whiffle ball as it falls to the ground. We attempt to model the falling ball and we confront the different resistance terms and models.

    1980-Peastrel-Lynch-Armenti-Terminal_velocity_of_a_shuttlecock_in_vertical_fall
    This paper offers a set of data on a falling shuttlecock (the moving object in badminton) in air. How the authors collected the data is described fully and can be replicated easily by modern equipment.

    1999-F_Brauer-What_Goes_Up_Must_Come_Down
    It is natural to ask whether a particle propelled upwards takes longer to fall to earth from its maximum height than it takes to rise to this maximum height for frictional forces that are nonlinear functions of velocity.

    2017-CW_Groetsch-Hammer and Feather - Some Calculus of Mass and Fall Time
    Does a heavy object fall faster than a lighter one? In 1971 NASA astronaut Dave Scott, Commander of the Apollo 15 lunar mission, used a hammer and a falcon feather on the surface of the moon to give a dramatic illustration that this is not so.

    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.
