This is not as silly as it sounds, because when we're in a vehicle and feel a jerk, we are in fact experiencing a change in the acceleration of the vehicle. One jerk is equal to a change in acceleration of one foot per second per second in one second, that is, 1 ft/sec3. One jerk equals 0.3048 m/s3 or about 0.03108g /sec http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictJ.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-16 17:28:12 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Jerk (in British English, jolt), also called surge, is the derivative of acceleration with respect to time. Yank is mass times jerk, or equivalently, the derivate of force with respect to time. Jerk is a vector; there is no generally used term to describe its scalar value. The units of jerk are metres per a second cubed (m·s-3). There is no universal agreement on the symbol for jerk, but j is commonly used. http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Jerk&diff=yes |
