How Can You Solve a Differential Equation Involving Exponential Drag Force?

[haruspex]

Are there any way to learn more calculus to get more strategy?

It looks like you need to reread integration basics, paying attention to bounds and to definite and indefinite integrals.

I got v(t) = -1/c ln( e^(-c v_0) + bc/m t ).

I got v(t) = -1/c ln( e^(-c v_0) + bc/m t ).

Good.

@idekthanks , the thread is over a year old. @MichaelTam might not be visiting the forum any more.

This problem becomes more complex if we alter the initial condition of ##v_0## to be not parallel to x-axis but to have some other direction. For example if ##v_0## is in the y-axis then the differential equation becomes $$m\frac{dv_x}{dt}=-be^{c\sqrt{v_0^2+v_x^2}}$$ and who can solve this
