I know this is gonna sound like a trivial and pointless question,

Because temporal frequency is much more useful than spatial frequency. The only use I can see of it is in study of waves with D'Alembert's equations, and even then it's just easy to say 'per meter' or 'meter minus one'.

However frequency has a ton of uses in daily live and scientific life.

The better question is why there isn't a unit name for momentum.

It's actually a Kilogram-Hertz per per-meter

Another question is, why isn't there a unit name for impulse? Does newton really have to Jew every unit that involves force?

>>8505421
That's just a kilogram hertz per per-meter per-hertz-per-hertz

>>8505470
Newton Hertz second^2 meter per meter hertz per hertz

If a unit of measurement doesn't have its own name, we should give it a name ourselves.

>>8505624

When is jolt, jounce ever actually used in anything?

>>8505375
Mertz

Robotics. You might think you don't perceive the 4th and 5th time derivative of position, but once you see a robot with a constant jounce in its movement it looks pretty eerie. We can pick up on stuff like that at a more subconscious level.
