A simple Solvable Model of Body Motion in a One-dimensional Resistive Medium
M. I. Molina
Abstract
We introduce and solve in closed form a simple model of a macroscopic body propagating in a one-dimensional resistive medium at temperature T. The assumption of completely inelastic collisions between the body and the particles composing the medium leads to a resistive force that is opposite and proportional to the square of the body's velocity
