Since Particles are basically just 2d objects they dont really have a position in 3d space that you could get (at least thats what I know, correct me if I am wrong).
I am trying to calculate the maximum hight of a particle just from the predefined values that are given. These are Drag,the Time and the Velocity when the particle starts.With just time and Velocity its very easy (V*t) but I dont know how to include drag into that.
I have already looked into the physics of a Vertical throw but from what I know Drag is based on the Velocity wich makes it really hard for me.
Now I need a calculation with wich I can calculate wich hight/position the particle will have to a given time.
Thank you for your help, if there is questions to my problem make sure to write a comment below, so I see them.

It shouldn't be too hard to derive an equation manipulating one of the four equations of motion and equating it to force.
The problem is that the acceleration (in this case its a negative acceleration) changes over time. So lets say the thing has speed 100 and drag 1 so after 1 second the speed is 50, after 2 seconds it 25,after 3seconds its 12.5. So its based on the last speed wich is based on the last speed wich is based on the starting speed at t= 0. I dont know how to form an equation based on that.
