the higher-order derivatives of velocity: jerk, snap, crackle and pop

598 views

Velocity is what you feel when driving on the highway.

Acceleration is what you feel when you step on the gas and the increase in velocity pushes you into your seat.

How can one intuitively understand the higher order derivatives of velocity: jerk, snap, crackle and pop?

Thus is incorrect. You can’t feel velocity. You can only feel *changes* velocity, i.e. acceleration.
