How to solve differential equation with absolute value?
I'm a newbie here, I want to solve this equation for my assignment:
mg - c x'[t] Abs[x'[t]] = m x''[t]
I'm using
DSolve[{mg - c x'[t] Abs[x'[t]] == m x''[t],x'[0]==0,x[0]==32000},x[t],t]
but Mathematica seems very slow to load.
Questions: is there any other way to solve the equation?
Edit: i've tried to change, but still doesn't work

You should check the boundary conditions:x[0]== 32000
,x'[0]
makes no sense!

If you substitute Abs[x'[t]]->Sqrt[x'[t]^2]
mathematica can evaluate the ode
DSolve[{mg - c x'[t] Sqrt[x'[t]^2] == m x''[t] }, x[t], t]
Unfortunately the solution cannot be adapted to the inital conditions x'[0]==0, x[0]== 32000
workaraound
The ode only depends on x'[t],x''[t]
, the substitution x'[t]->v[t]
and division by m gives
ode=9.81 - cdm v[t] Sqrt[v[t]^2] == v'[t] (*g=9.81*)
ode only depends on parameters cdm=c/m
, v0
and can be solved numerically
X = ParametricNDSolveValue[{ode,v[0] == v0 }, v, {t, 0, 10}, {v0, cdm}]
Plot[X[.0 , 1 ][t], {t, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {0, Automatic}]

The problem seems to be the initial conditionx'[0]==0
. You give numerical values for the initial conditions, perhaps you can provide the parameter valuesm, g, c
too?
