  2. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    When converted to an equivalent system of three ordinary first-order non-linear differential equations, jerk equations are the minimal setting for solutions showing chaotic behaviour. This condition generates mathematical interest in jerk systems. Systems involving fourth-order derivatives or higher are accordingly called hyperjerk systems. [1]

  3. Fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth,_fifth,_and_sixth...

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.

  4. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    A jerk system's behavior is described by a jerk equation, and for certain jerk equations, simple electronic circuits can model solutions. These circuits are known as jerk circuits. One of the most interesting properties of jerk circuits is the possibility of chaotic behavior.

  5. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2]

  6. Time derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_derivative

    Even higher derivatives are sometimes also used: the third derivative of position with respect to time is known as the jerk. See motion graphs and derivatives. A large number of fundamental equations in physics involve first or second time derivatives of quantities. Many other fundamental quantities in science are time derivatives of one another:

  7. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The rate of change of jerk, the fourth derivative of displacement is known as jounce. [11] The SI unit of jounce is m ⋅ s − 4 {\displaystyle \mathrm {m\cdot s^{-4}} } which can be pronounced as metres per quartic second .

  8. Abraham–Lorentz force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham–Lorentz_force

    The Lorentz self-force derived for non-relativistic velocity approximation , is given in SI units by: = ˙ = ˙ = ˙ or in Gaussian units by = ˙. where is the force, ˙ is the derivative of acceleration, or the third derivative of displacement, also called jerk, μ 0 is the magnetic constant, ε 0 is the electric constant, c is the speed of light in free space, and q is the electric charge of ...

  9. Third derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_derivative

    In physics, particularly kinematics, jerk is defined as the third derivative of the position function of an object. It is, essentially, the rate at which acceleration changes. In mathematical terms:
