Well then. In physics, velocity can be represented as a function of time. I.e., a car moves at a pace of 50 miles per hour (Velocity = Distance/Time). Because production, like velocity, is a movement, we might be tempted to say that production also is a function of time (Product = Production/Time). However, we face a serious problem here. Within an infinitely small fragment of time, the velocity of a moving object remains constant; the distance simply becomes infinitely small. But how “large” is production within an infinitely small time slot?
