If a change in speed is acceleration, and a change in acceleration is a jerk, what's a change in a jerk? A jerk?

The change in acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is a measure of how much an object's speed or direction of motion is changing.
The change in acceleration can be calculated by subtracting the initial acceleration from the final acceleration. This can be represented by the formula: ∆a = final acceleration - initial acceleration.
A change in acceleration can be caused by a force acting on an object. This force can be applied in the form of a push or a pull, and can change the object's speed, direction, or both.
A change in acceleration can affect an object's motion in different ways. If the acceleration is positive, the object's speed will increase. If the acceleration is negative, the object's speed will decrease. If the acceleration is zero, the object's speed will remain constant.
Yes, a change in acceleration can be negative. This means that the object's speed is decreasing over time. For example, when a car applies its brakes, it experiences a negative change in acceleration as it slows down.
