The motion equations of a body under gravity and resistance linearly dependent on speed are usually analysed by solving differential equations. In this paper we report a derivation not explicitly involving differential equations but instead based on some elementary mathematical operations. The derivation uses only knowledge covered in a typical secondary school mathematics syllabus.

Keywords: motion; equations motion; derivation equations; derivation; resistance; novel derivation
