(a)
解法一
思路

先积分求速度。速度是开口向上的二次式,其最小值在正时间处;不曾静止要求判别式严格小于零。
答题过程

Integrating a=kt−3 and using v(0)=1 gives
v=21kt2−3t+1.
Since k>0, this quadratic opens upwards and its vertex occurs at t=3/k>0. Also v(0)=1>0, so if it had any real roots they would be positive: their sum is 6/k>0 and product 2/k>0.
Thus never being at instantaneous rest for t≥0 requires no real roots:
(−3)2−42k(1)<9−2k<0,0.
Hence k>4.5, as required.

把速度配方,可直接看出正时间处的最小速度必须严格大于零。

Integrating the acceleration and using the initial velocity gives
v==21kt2−3t+12k(t−k3)2+1−2k9.
Since k>0, the minimum occurs at the admissible time t=3/k. The particle starts with positive velocity and never reaches rest, so the minimum must be positive:
1−2k9>0.
Multiplying by 2k>0 gives 2k>9, hence k>4.5.

也可令加速度为零求速度的极小值,用加速度的变号确认这是最小值。
答题过程
展开
The velocity is v=kt2/2−3t+1. Its derivative is a=kt−3, which changes from negative to positive at t=3/k. Therefore the minimum velocity for t≥0 is
vmin==2k(k3)2−3k3+11−2k9.
Since the particle starts with positive velocity and is never at rest, vmin>0. Thus 2k>9, giving k>4.5.

速度在区间内的t=2变号。路程需要把变号前的负位移取反,再加变号后的正位移。
答题过程

When k=2.5,
v=45t2−3t+1=41(5t−2)(t−2).
The zero-velocity times are t=2/5 and t=2; only t=2 lies in [1,3]. The velocity is negative on [1,2) and positive on (2,3].
An antiderivative is
S(t)=125t3−23t2+t.
Thus
S(1)=S(2)=S(3)=−121,−32,43.
Thus
D==−(S(2)−S(1))+(S(3)−S(2))127+1217=2m.
