Definition of vector constants of integration
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain vector constants of integration in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: WJEC
Constants c = c_x i + c_y j and d = d_x i + d_y j that must be determined using initial vector conditions at t = 0.
