contents We consider the problem of the motion of a projectile thrown vertically upward from a surface. In addition to gravity, the drag force of the medium is taken into account, which is considered a quadratic function of the relative velocity of the projectile. It is also assumed that the projectile is acted upon by a wind that has a constant vertical velocity in magnitude and direction. Analytical solutions of differential equations of motion, including the influence of wind, are written down. As an example of the application of the obtained formulas, the movement of a badminton shuttlecock is considered. Various features of movement are considered, such as the shuttlecock hovering in the air and continuous upward movement. The educational and methodological significance of the obtained results for students of various levels of training is noted.
