There are three constants: the initial value for the independent variable, $t_0$, and the two initial values for the velocity and position, $v_0, x_0$. Assuming $t_0 = 0$, we can simplify the above to get a formula familiar from introductory physics:

In a resistive medium, there are drag forces at play. If this force is proportional to the velocity, say, with proportion $\gamma$, then the equations become:
