  2. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Jerk (also known as jolt) is the rate of change of an object's acceleration over time. It is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction). Jerk is most commonly denoted by the symbol j and expressed in m/s 3 ( SI units ) or standard gravities per second ( g 0 /s).

  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. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    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 .

  5. 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:

  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. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    In physics, jerk is the third derivative of position, with respect to time. As such, differential equations of the form (..., ¨, ˙,) = are sometimes called jerk equations. It has been shown that a jerk equation, which is equivalent to a system of three first order, ordinary, non-linear differential equations, is in a certain sense the minimal ...
