  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 = = =.

    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]

  5. 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:

  6. 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 .
