Is there a name for units in dimensions higher than 3?

[Chaotic42]

The first dimension is a "linear foot"
The second dimension is a "square foot"
The third dimension is a "cubic foot"

Are there terms for higher dimensions? What would you say the volume of a 25 dimensional cube is? 1 "twenty-five-bic foot"?

twenty-five-bic foot

4 = quadratic?

you should just look up the latin equivalents for this

So what about the 4th? A "fourth-bic foot"?

 

[GhettoFob]

quadratic unit or g-g-g-g-G UNIT!

 

[EyeMWing]

Quadratic foot. Quintuplet foot. Sextuplet foot. Septuplet foot. Beyond that, I'm not quite sure.

I'm talking spacial. I need to figure out how many 1000-dimensional planck lengths are in a half sphere with a radius 25 miles.

Allow me to be the first to ask:

WTF are you talking about?

Imagine a 1000-dimensional hypersphere with a radius of 25 miles. Now cut it in half. Now tell me it's volume in planck volumes.

quadratic = to the second power

quartic = to the fourth power

length
velocity = 1st time derivative of length
acceleration = 2nd time derivative of length
jerk = 3rd time derivative of length

I don't think the 4th derivative has a name.

 

[HonkeyDonk]

always wondered why they called a function to the 2nd power (y = x^2) a quadratic...doesn't quad mean 4?

.... 2 = quadratic

 

[Broohaha]

linear
square
cubic
quartic
quintic
hectic
septic
octic
noctic
tentic
eleventic
twelvetic


hehe ... i think the first 9 of those are right tho
