BTW the constant you saw has
nothing to do with the equation at hand since we assume zerop power for that

An unemphatic "it doesn't matter!" :-)

I could have made C =100,

Hmmm, 0 is as good as 100?

what must the value of C
be in this equation? Ha!

You are right, you have been away from math class too long. The value
of the added C as the result of integration is unknown by definition.
This constant is, after all, from your own reference supplied by you.
Plugging in any value (including your fudge factor of 0) plucked from
the air is invalid. Hardly the best way to demonstrate the
conservation of energy (power, karma, the trade balance, or
what-have-you).
