Question: Is it possible to specify constants (initial position vector) in a simple integration of a velocity vector?

Let's say we have a velocity vector v := c _i + d _j, where _i and _j are the i hat and j hat Cartesian basis vectors as present in the Physics[Vectors] package.

When we integrate this velocity vector relative to t, the result in maple is the position vector (c _i + d _j)t.

I guess that is correct.

My question is: is there am in-built way to specify an initial position vector for the integration? Ie, can I specify constants in the integration?

Right now I am just doing 

s0 := sx _i + sy _j

s:= int(v, t) + s0
