Yes, there’s a whole field of calculus for this called fractional calculus and If I’m remembering correctly it has some physical applications. You can even take complex’th derivatives.

yes it is, don't ask me how tho

shajdkha :
Derivative is a limit. The limit leans somewhere so a half derivative means that the limit has to lean somewhere but not completely so obviously it’s false

“To the half power” is the wrong angle for it tho. You’d want your half derivative to operate in a way such that two half derivatives on f(x) yields f’(x). There’s a video on it that explains the math (working out the power rule by yourself is a cool exercise), but the big point lies in the fact we don’t have like a geometrical interpretation of the math, if memory serves correct.

Maybe the half derivative with respect to time of force kg*m/s^2 would be kg*m/s momentum

Physicsdemo :
you derive the generic nth derivative then plug in one half. Also works for negative numbers , negative derivatives are integrals.

yea through cauchy’s repeated integration formula

There's this new trend on tiktok where I usually watch videos to learn something I didn't know existed. Now instead I get asked questions I didn't know I needed to answer.

is it possible to do well I my stem classes by studying one hour per class 6x a week (chem 1,physics 1 and calc 1 although I already took AP calc before)

wdym d^0,5y? dy is one thing you cant separate d and y

isnt that just an integral?

Lol :
Yea just differentiate once and then do a half integral using Cauchy’s formula for repeated integration

Can I take an intergral with respect to the degree of the derivative?

What about the i derivative?

That’s what I used to think a partial derivative was before physics/calc

actually not that deep, just use a fourier transform to define fractional derivatives

You actually sent me into a deep dive. That’s an incredibly interesting subject. And there are actually applications for it. So the $1{,}5$ -order derivative of position is a weighted record of past acceleration. So newer acceleration is weighted more heavily. For frequencies it can mean a variable change in phase. It can help calculate viscoelastic materials that are neither liquid nor stiff. It’s also used in Diffusion of complex materials such as biological cells. And so much more

yes, it's called fractional derivatives. I don't think I ever learned what their uses were for, but yes you can
