Answer

$$ v(t)=s^{\prime}(t)=\sin t-\cos t , \quad s(0)=0 $$ The position of the particle is $$ s(t)=-\cos t-\sin t+1 $$

Work Step by Step

$$ v(t)=s^{\prime}(t)=\sin t-\cos t , \quad s(0)=0 $$ The general anti-derivative of $ s^{\prime}(t)=\sin t-\cos t $ is $$ s(t)=-\cos t-\sin t+C $$ To determine C we use the fact that $s(0)=0$: $$ s(0)=-\cos (0)-\sin (0)+C =0 $$ $ \Rightarrow $ $$ -1+C=0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad C=1, $$ so the position of the particle is $$ s(t)=-\cos t-\sin t+1. $$
