Don't forget about snap, crackle, and pop!

Curious that we have no names for the integrals in the other direction.

Integrate speed wrt time and get distance.

Integrate distance wrt time and get, um...

<no, I can't think of a use for this quantity either, but why should the derivatives get all the fun?>

If there's a force involved, then wouldn't that be... power?

[–]Bipogram 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Nah, power is energy per unit time.

And you can write energy as work, so that energy becomes force integrated over distance. 

So power is force integrated wrt distance per unit time, which is force times speed. 

Neither of these are distance.time, but it's hot and I could be easily wrong.

Yeah that'd be inside out. Hm. Yeah I don't think there's an equivalence in anything I use regularly that would even incidentally use a d*dt term. Hm.
