Visualizing Jerk: Change of Acceleration
Visualizing Jerk: Change of Acceleration
"Jerk" in physics is the third derivative of position. It is somewhat difficult to visualize intuitively, so this Demonstration shows it with a simple graph. This is the "constant jerk" case where acceleration is increasing at a constant rate.
