Explanation for integration of Dr/Dt

[harmyder]

Homework Statement

Why integration of $$\frac{D^2\mathbf r}{Dt^2}=−2\mathbf w \times \frac{D\mathbf r}{Dt}−g\mathbf R$$ gives us
$$\frac{D\mathbf r}{Dt}= \mathbf v_0 −2\mathbf w×(\mathbf r−\mathbf r_0)−gt\mathbf R$$

Homework Equations

Consider a time-varying vector written in the body coordinate system, \xi(t) = R(t)\mathbf s(t).
$$\frac{d\xi}{dt} = R\frac{d\mathbf s}{dt}+\mathbf w \times \xi = \frac{D\xi}{Dt} +\mathbf w \times \xi.$$

The Attempt at a Solution

It looks for me like they incorporated -\mathbf v_0 for LHS and -\mathbf r_0 for \frac{D\mathbf r}{Dt}.

Ah! Probably they took definite integral \int_0^t!

Hi, if you take $\int_{0}^{t} \cdot ds$ (as you said at the end) of both sides of $\frac{D^{2} \mathbf{r}}{Ds^2}=-2\mathbf{w}\times \frac{D\mathbf{r}}{Ds}-g\mathbf{R}$ you obtain in the first side $\frac{D \mathbf{r}}{Ds}(t)-\frac{D \mathbf{r}}{Ds}(0)$ that is problably $\frac{D \mathbf{r}}{Ds}(t)-\mathbf{v}_{0}$, the second side is a simple integration and calling $\mathbf{r}=\mathbf{r}(t)$ and $\mathbf{r}_{0}=\mathbf{r}(0)$ you have the result ...
