Time Derivative of Force: What is the Missing Variable?

[Isaac0427]

So I know that momentum is the time derivative of force, but what is the time derivative of force? That is, p=mv, f=ma, ?=mj (if j is jerk/jolt). Thanks!

It doesn't have a name. It isn't often useful, so it hasn't been worth naming.

Does it have any practical uses?

I'm sure you meant to say "force is the time derivative of momentum"!

Yes. It was a mistake.

Not that I am aware of.
