Using ODEs to solve problems in MATLAB

The velocity $v$ of a freefalling skydiver is well modeled by the differential equation

$m\frac{dv}{dt}=mg-k{v}^2$

where $m$ is the mass of the skydiver, $g$ is the gravitational constant, and $k$ is the drag coefficient determined by the position of the diver during the dive. $($Note that the constants $m,g,$ and $k$ are all positive.$)$
