Answer

$s(t)=-(\dfrac{\cos \pi t}{\pi})+(\dfrac{1}{\pi})$

Work Step by Step

Since, the derivative of the function $v= \sin \pi t$ is $\dfrac{d}{dt}(-\dfrac{\cos \pi t}{\pi}) =\sin \pi t$ and , General form of the function,we have $s(t)=-(\dfrac{\cos \pi t}{\pi})+C$ As we are given that $s(0)=0$ This implies that $s(0)=0$ or, $0=-\dfrac{\cos \pi (0)}{\pi}+C \implies C=\dfrac{1}{\pi}$ Hence, $s(t)=-(\dfrac{\cos \pi t}{\pi})+(\dfrac{1}{\pi})$
