Velocity * Distance = height? WTF????

[K.I.L.E.R]

Can someone please tell me what drugs is everyone taking?

v*dx/dt = height?
Huh?

I just think this is silly. It doesn't make sense from a logical point of view.

v*s = t ????

v = s / t, so you must s/v = t, but how do you get vs = t?

could it be an equation for something accelerating upwards ?

Could you at least place the problem in context? Just throwing down terms without any frame of reference doesn't actually tell us anything.

dx/dt is measuring what? How do you get dx/dt as distance in your purported topic of "velocity * distance = height"? Most mechanics problems I can think of don't really place distance as a derivative of anything.

First of all dx/dt is a velocity not a position. Second of all the units don't match up regardless, so somethings wrong..

Why don't you actually state the problem instead
