It is well known that the first derivative of position(x) with respect to time(t) is velocity(v) and the second is acceleration(a). It is a little less well known that the third derivative, i.e. the rate of change of acceleration, is technically known as jerk(j). Jerk is a vector but may also be used loosely as a scalar quantity because there is not a separate term for the magnitude of jerk analogous to speed for magnitude of velocity.

Since force (F = ma) is rate of change of momentum (p, symbol clashes with pop) it seems necessary to find terms for higher derivatives of force too. So far yank (symbol Y) has been suggested for rate of change of force, tug (symbol T) for rate of change of yank, snatch (symbol S) for rate of change of tug and shake (symbol Sh) for rate of change of snatch.
