What is the motion of an object with a drag force that is proportional to the velocity? Here is my explanation.

This is part of my classical mechanics course. You can find all the videos in this playlist.

I'm attempting to repeat this problem with an added complication: Ambient wind. assuming the wind is constant (2 m/s) and acts in the x direction, how would this effect the derivation of the one-dimensional equations? The ambient wind would apply a constant force, rather than a changing force (as drag force changes with velocity). Would it be removed from the integral as a constant? Much appreciated and great video explanation.
