But luckily for us, there's a classical equation of motion that will, in fact, describe how the electron and nucleus change position or change their radius as a function of time.

但幸运的是，有一个,经典方程描述了电子和核子,位置或者它们直接的距离是,如何随时间变化的。

Then, to find the meaning of b, we take one derivative of this, dx/dt, that's velocity as a function of time, and if you took the derivative of this guy, you will find as at+b. That's the velocity of the object.

接下来,为了弄清b的含义,我们取它的一阶导数,dx/dt,得到速度作为时间的函数,如果你对它求导的话,你会得到at+b,这就是物体的速度
