A hint to get started

Keep both sides of a terminal velocity when separating

[Motion of Particles with Resistance]

Modified from Fundamentals of Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, sixth edition, p110. An object starts with velocity v0 and falls under gravity g=9.81g=9.81 metres per second squared. Air resistance gives deceleration proportional to velocity. Given dv/dt=g−kvdv/dt=g-kv, k>0k>0, express v in terms of t.

Keep the signed integration constant because the initial speed can lie on either side of the limiting value.
