This lecture covers the laws and equations governing ballistic motion with friction, including the impact of viscous friction on the trajectory and the exponential decrease in velocity. The instructor explains the initial conditions, the equations of motion, and the concept of terminal velocity. The lecture delves into the horizontal and vertical ballistic movements, discussing the equations and their physical interpretations. It concludes with the analysis of trajectories with and without friction, highlighting the asymptotic behaviors and the impact of friction on the range of ballistic shots.
