  • Slide
  • Shift
  • Bump
  • Jerk
Explanation

The derivative of acceleration with respect to time is called jerk. Jerk represents the rate of change of acceleration and measures the abruptness or intensity with which an object's acceleration varies. It indicates how quickly an object's acceleration is changing over time. A positive jerk signifies an increase in acceleration, while a negative jerk implies a decrease in acceleration. In simpler terms, jerk quantifies how harshly or smoothly an object's motion is changing.
