  2. Jerk: The Third Derivative of Position - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/jerk-the-third-derivative-of-position.657539

    Dec 7, 2012. Jerk. In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of "jerk" as the third derivative of position and its importance in classical physics, particularly in engineering and designing. The participants are surprised to not have come across it in their studies and discuss its practical significance and use in various fields such ...

  3. What is the Significance of Multiple Time Derivatives in Physics?

    Yank is mass times jerk, or equivalently, the derivative of force with respect to time. Jerk is a vector, and there is no generally used term to describe its scalar value. The units of jerk are metres per second cubed (m/s3). There is no universal agreement on the symbol for jerk, but j is commonly used. Jerk is used at times in engineering ...

  4. Explain the physics joke Don't be a d^3x/dt^3 - Physics Forums

    Explain the physics joke Don't be a d^3x/dt^3. yddet12. May 5, 2011. Explain Physics. In summary, the joke is a play on the third derivative of position in physics, known as jerk, and the phrase "don't be a jerk." It is a lighthearted reminder to not act in a way that could be considered unpleasant or annoying. May 5, 2011.

  5. Postion -> Velocity -> Acceleration -> Jerk ->? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/postion-velocity-acceleration-jerk.213994

    In summary, for a function x(t) representing position as a function of time, the first derivative x'(t) represents velocity, the second derivative x''(t) represents acceleration, and the third derivative x'''(t) represents jerk. The fourth derivative x''''(t) is sometimes referred to as a 'spasm' or 'jounce' and can be calculated using a ...

  6. What is meant by jerk and how it can be measured - Physics Forums

    6,825. In physics, jerk (in British English, jolt), also called surge, is the derivative of acceleration with respect to time (or the third derivative of displacement). Yank is mass times jerk, or equivalently, the derivative of force with respect to time. Jerk is a vector, and there is no generally used term to describe its scalar value.

  7. What Is the Fourth Derivative of Position? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-is-the-fourth-derivative-of-position.316714

    The fourth derivative of position is the rate of change of the third derivative of position, also known as the jerk. It measures how quickly the acceleration is changing over time. 2. How is the fourth derivative of position calculated? The fourth derivative of position can be calculated by taking the derivative of the third derivative of position.

  8. Jerk, Jounce, Snap, Crackle, Pop: What's the Motion? - Physics...

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/jerk-jounce-snap-crackle-pop-whats-the-motion.817709

    For example, to measure jerk, we take the derivative of acceleration with respect to time. 5. Can you give an example of jerk, jounce, snap, crackle, pop in real life? Yes, a simple example is a car accelerating from a stopped position. The car experiences a jerk, which is the change in acceleration, as it starts to move.

  9. What is Jerk and Jounce conceptually? - Physics Forums

    The sensation of jerk is noticeable, causing the passenger’s head to jerk forward. Jounce In physics, jounce or snap[1] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, with the first, second, and third derivatives being velocity, acceleration, and jerk, respectively; in other words, the jounce is the rate of change of ...

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/jerk-equation-calculating-profile-from-speed...

    The Jerk Equation is calculated by taking the third derivative of the position function with respect to time. In simpler terms, it involves finding the rate of change of acceleration over time. The formula is expressed as jerk (J) = d^3x/dt^3, where x represents position and t represents time.

  11. Velocity, acceleration, jerk, snap, crackle, pop, stop, drop,...

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/velocity-acceleration-jerk-snap-crackle-pop-stop...

    Snap, crackle, and pop are higher-order derivatives of an object's position, velocity, and acceleration, respectively. They represent the rate of change of jerk, snap being the fourth derivative, crackle being the fifth derivative, and pop being the sixth derivative. These terms are used to describe the smoothness of an object's motion.
