Classical Mechanics: a Critical Introduction
... x(t) = (9/4)t4 + c where c is any constant (the proof is simply to calculate dx/dt and verify that we obtain the desired v(t)). The appearance of the arbitrary constant c in x(t) is not surprising, since knowledge of the velocity at all times is not quite sufficient to fully determine the position a ...

... In this chapter we shall deal with the study of the motion of the non deformable bodies, namely of the rigid bodies. We have seen in the previously chapters that in the study of the motion we have to answer to two questions (which will remain the same for the bodies) namely: which is the position of ...
