Abstract:
      On the condition of linear change of particle’s acting force, it is proved that the motion trajectory of particle must be a spatial curve and a simple regular curve when the initial acting force, the terminal acting force and total displacement in the time interval not located in the same plane; otherwise, it must be a planar curve, and its curvature and its torsion at any point doesn’t equal to zero respectively. As the motion trajectory is a planar curve, the conditions are given, where it has cusp, inflection and self-intersection recpectively. Some related properties are investigated, all of them are intuitive in geometry.
