I don't get these jokes. ##\dfrac{d^n x}{dt^n}=0## for any ##n\in \mathbb{N}## so what is funny here?
The derivative of acceleration is "jerk". The next three derivatives are sometimes called "snap, crackle and pop", a reference to advertising for the breakfast cereal Rice Krispies.

Physics For Pre-med Student​

One day our physics professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. A pre-med student rudely interrupted to ask. "Why do we have to study this stuff?"

"To save lives," the professor responded and continued with the lecture.

A few minutes later the same student spoke up again. "So, how does physics save lives?" he persisted.

"It keeps the ignoramuses out of medical school," replied the professor.
