Jounce and Snap are higher-order derivatives of acceleration, representing changes in acceleration over time.

Jounce measures the rate of change of acceleration, while Snap measures the rate of change of jounce. These quantities are important in analyzing the dynamics of motion in advanced physics and engineering applications.

  • Jounce and Snap are used in analyzing the performance of vehicles and machinery.
  • They help in understanding the smoothness and stability of motion.
  • These quantities are crucial in designing control systems for high-precision movements.
