How do I integrate Wind resistance?

Ok so iv just learnt integration. My physics is way ahead of my maths however, and I'd like to know how to integrate wind resistance.

Think of this scenario where an object is falling freely under gravity, and has Area 'A' with the constant K for air.

The net force would be F=Ma-KAv^2 and the net acceleration would be= (Ma-KaV^2)/M

I assume that because A=dV/dT that V=INT(Ma-kAV^2)M dT

but that as far as I got. :\ I dont have any Ts in the equation, would I seperate out the V^2 into d^2/t^2? Can anyone explain this to me so that it'd make sense

This isn't for work or school or anything, I'm just curious
