I'm quite confused about the force and motion.
Force used to determine acceleration.
Is the acceleration per second? How to find out how much time the acceleration last for?
Come to my case,
Air molecules exert force back to the falling object to decelerates it.
Why velocity is required to know?
Isn't the acceleration constant and the reacting force from air molecules is deceleration? When the sum of them are 0 , the object stops accelerate, but in the equation, why do we need to find out the velocity?
I don't know how to account for it but I know it is indeed a factor in reality.
Please help me/
