  2. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mechanical engineering, jerk, in addition to velocity and acceleration, is considered in the development of cam profiles because of tribological implications and the ability of the actuated body to follow the cam profile without chatter. [11] Jerk is often considered when vibration is a concern. A device that measures jerk is called a ...

  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. 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. 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 ...

    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]
