Never heard of the films most people have for 1 or 2. 3 puzzled me, as I've always used x for position, not s, assuming it is Speed. The only other thing that occurred to me was Absolute Power, but that would rightly be dW/dt, not ds/dt.
The derivative of position with respect to time is velocity. s is distance covered and its derivative with respect to time is speed.
5. is a porno.

In my defence, I never knew such a movie existed...

could anyone tell me why #6 is Lord of the Rings? (if it is..)
Why would you need absolute value for Speed?
coz Speed is a scalar quantity. Without the absolute value, it would represent Velocity(which is a vector).
Not really. s is distance, \vec{s} is displacement.
to Sarthak Chandra: The man with a crown is a lord (I first thought of a king) and the stuff in the bubbles represents rings in the mathematical sense, that's why it is Lord of the Rings.
