Im working on an assignment involving a rocket being launched vertically from rest. 
I have a eq. of motion that looks like this: v(t)=vs*ln(-m0/(r*t-m0))-g*t

Now Im supposed to implement the air resistance, and write an expression for the total force on the rocket. After that creating a plot displaying the speed v(t) as a function of time for both, with and without air resistance. 

All constants are known including CD, rho and A for the dragforce. 

I would be grateful if anyone could help me with this!

Thanks

Im working on a assignment on maple. I have an equation of motion that looks like this:  v(t):= -g*t-vs*ln(r*t-m)+vs*ln(-m)
Im supposed to use this equation and solve it for t an later integrate it. Since the constant inside the ln is negative I end up with a annoying imaginary part. Is there any way to covert this equation so that the ln disappear, so that I can get a result whitout a imaginary part?
