This might be more of a mathematical question, but the other day in Physics my teacher said that work along a curved path is a line integral, which made perfect sense to me. But then I wondered how one determines the path of travel if the force varies at each point x, y, and z. So how would you find the path of travel of a particle given a vector field of forces, an initial position and an initial velocity?
