For those interested, it's also worth taking a look at the time-integrals (or "lower derivatives") past displacement: absement, absity, abseleration, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

There's some good examples in the wiki link, I liked: "A vehicle's distance travelled results from its throttle's absement. The further the throttle has been opened, and the longer it's been open, the more the vehicle's travelled." Plus the fact that the units are m*s instead of m/s.
