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, [itex]\xi(t) = R(t)\mathbf s(t).[/itex]
$$\frac{d\xi}{dt} = R\frac{d\mathbf s}{dt}+\mathbf w \times \xi = \frac{D\xi}{Dt} +\mathbf w \times \xi.$$
The Attempt at a Solution
It looks for me like they incorporated [itex]-\mathbf v_0[/itex] for LHS and [itex]-\mathbf r_0[/itex] for [itex]\frac{D\mathbf r}{Dt}.[/itex]
Ah! Probably they took definite integral [itex]\int_0^t[/itex]!
