    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    AHAH! that's what i wrote down when i handed it in so i got that right, but yea okay thanks a lot man appretiate that, but one thing i don't understand, and maybe I am just stupid but I've seen the symbol before on the forums and I've never been told what it is , the like that look kind of...

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    like uniform motion graphs and the equations we got from the graphs seem sort of similar to this so that's my only reasoning for saying i assume its uniform motion

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    i assume it had to do with uniform motion i guess, we weren't taught anything about acceleration vs time graphs, it was just a question to confuse us and make us miserable and get us thinkin, makin connections but i seem to make things too complicated, so i apologize for any inconveniance, i...

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    um no and I am in physics, not positive its exactly calculus, but i know he said it contained calculus, it was sort of a review thing i can check what unit its from hold on

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    hmm I am embarassd to say i don't think i understand what you mean by a function... haha sorry, I am trying to think of what you mean so just let a represent acceleration?? okay, and a(t) so a multiplied by time? wouldn't you just input the function given, multiply it by the point in time where...

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    same thing, but we needed an equation to find the difference, so are you saying to find two different instantaneous intantaneous rates of change of acceleration ?

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    oh yea that easy, if its a curve, which is the only graph where in this case there would be a different instantaneous velocity, that easy though, i wold carefully take a ruler, find the spot on the line where there is two eqal spaces from the line to the ruler on both sides, then draw the line...

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    thank you for the clarification, i did understand that a jerk was change in acceleration per unit time, guess i forgot to put that down. oh well, I am not sure how it relates to the graph, we were not given any graph at all, just the question, so i presume that we were to just rough our own, but...

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate

    Change in acceleration (jerk) how to calculate please help! im a grade 11 student and i got a question that i don't understand, here it is. 32) a) derive an equation for the change in acceleration by using a graph analysis technique on a a-t (acceleration vs time) graph. (note. The name given...
