Problem
A particle P of mass m is moving in a straight horizontal line towards a fixed point A on the line. The particle is subject to a resistive force that is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between P and A. Initially, the distance between P and A is d and the speed of P is u. When the distance between P and A is 21d, the particle has lost 43 of its kinetic energy.
Find, in terms of d, the minimum distance of P from A.

以到 A 的距离为坐标,把阻力方向和速度方向分清。对速度的微分方程积分,用已知的动能损失确定比例常数。

Let r be the distance from A, and let v=−dr/dt be the speed towards A while P is moving. Write the magnitude of the resistance as k/r2, with k>0. Taking the direction towards A as positive in Newton’s second law gives
mdtdv=mvdrdv=−r2k,r2k.
Using dr/dt=−v accounts for the sign in the second equation. Integrating from the initial state gives
∫uvmwdw=21m(v2−u2)==∫drs2kds,[−sk]dr−k(r1−d1).
Hence
21mv2=21mu2−k(r1−d1).
At r=d/2, the loss is 43⋅21mu2, so
dk=83mu2,k=83mdu2.
The kinetic energy decreases as r decreases. It first reaches zero when
r1−d1=83mdu221mu2=3d4.
Thus 1/r=1/d+4/(3d)=7/(3d), so the minimum distance is 73d.

也可以从起点沿运动方向量距离。此时若质点已走了 x,它到 A 的距离就是 d−x。
答题过程

Let x be the distance travelled from the initial point. Newton’s second law gives
mvdxdv=−(d−x)2k.
Since ∫(d−x)−2dx=(d−x)−1, integrating gives 21mv2=C−d−xk. At x=0 and x=d/2, respectively,
21mu2=81mu2=C−dk,C−d2k.
Subtracting gives 3mu2/8=k/d, so k=83mdu2. Then C=mu2/2+k/d=87mu2. At the first stop, v=0, so
d−x=Ck=73d.
