We know that for a Hilbert triple $V \subset H \subset V^{'}$, if we have $u, v \in L^2(0,T;H)$ with $u',v' \in L^2(0,T;V')$ then $$\frac{d}{dt}(u(t), v(t))_H = u'(t)(v(t)) + v'(t)(u(t))$$ where the $'$ means the weak derivative.
Is there a formula involving weak derivatives for $$\frac{d}{dt}f(t)(u(t))$$ where $f(t) \in V^*$ and $u(t) \in V$?
