Terminal velocity is a simple way of incorporating air drag force into trajectory calculations.

At terminal velocity, the force of air drag is equal to the force of gravity.

If you assume air drag is proportional to velocity squared, you can then compute the air drag force at any velocity.

You can then set up an Initial Value Problem and numerically integrate it to find the trajectory.
