A yank is the derivative of the acceleration to the time. So you have place, derive that to get speed, derive that to get acceleration, derive that to get yank.

o. I never thought it had a name I always thought about how awesome it would be to have d^4/dt^4 stuff so a yank is the third..


anyway, then snipers post should be different, it's more like infinite power dissipation?

Actually, jerk is the derivative of acceleration via time. Yank is the derivative of force with respect to time. So yank = jerk*mass =massive jerk. Oh, physics....

To be more precise, I don't think "yank" is an official term, it's just the name that everyone who needs it calls it.

Jerk is also called other things, jolt and impulse are the ones I know of.
