I'm trying to implement the equations for a parabolic show with small damping forces (the ones that exists when the projectile is shot in the air)

The equations are those:

Where:

t = the current equation time

b = c/m

c = the damping coefficient

m = the projectile mass

G = the gravity acceleration

If c=0 (no damping forces) the original differential equations are different and its integration gives other equations:

Implement in synfig one or other equation is quite easy using the Switch convert type. Other thing is implement the first group of equations.

As well as the parameter b is dividing and multiplying at the same time there are only one possible solutions to implement that with the current synfig convert types possibilities: That the user enter the value of b and the value of 1/b into two separated parameters.

To avoid that I'm asking for a "Inverse" convert type. It should have following sub - parameters:
