[ODE] air friction

[DjArcas]

Uhm, you could read the FAQ.

Q How do I stop things from rolling off into infinity, or pendulums from
swinging forever?
A ODE models a universe with frictionless hinges and no rolling friction, so
problems like those are fairly common. The solution is to apply a force to
simulate RollingFrictionOrAerodynamicDrag.

> Hi guys!
> I now have a ball  on which I apply a force once (only once => no
acceleration, constant speed)
> Then the ball starts rolling, but it never stops. How can I create the air
friction effect? How can I stop the ball ?
