SUMMARY

The integral of (dy/dt)^2 with respect to time requires additional information for precise evaluation. The discussion highlights that integration by parts can be applied, resulting in the expression y dy/dt - ∫y d²y/dt² dt. This manipulation is crucial for solving the integral, as it transforms the problem into a more manageable form.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of calculus, specifically integration techniques
  • Familiarity with derivatives, particularly the first and second derivatives

What is the integral of (dy/dt)^2 ??

As the title reads, I was hoping someone knew what the integral with respect to time of [dy/dt]^2 was.

To clarify, I am looking for: the integral with respect to time of the (time derivative of y)^squared

sorry, can't figure out how to get it to display math characters

if S is the integral sign --> need: S{(dy/dt)^2}dt

To effect that integration more information is needed.
 


There are, however, some manipulations you can do; integration by parts gives y dy/dt - ∫y d2y/dt2 dt.
