This book presents explorations in the field of motion for various bodies subject to different forces, with its main focus on bodies moving in a resisting medium such as a fluid. These topics are examined through the lens of the Newtonian laws of motion, a framework that emerged in the latter half of the seventeenth century. The investigations in this book describe the motion of bodies that encounter constant or velocity-dependent resisting forces, and also consider the interplay of gravity and resistance forces on the body's trajectory. Through mathematical formulations and problem sets, the author provides a deeper understanding of the physical principles at play in resisted motion, offering analytical tools for the study of various scenarios encountered in fluid dynamics. This book expands the exploration of motion beyond its treatment in the first volume of Newton's Principia, providing insights for scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in the nuanced realm of resisted motion.
