Beyond Acceleration:
Exploring Higher-Order Time Derivatives of Position in Physical and Engineering Systems
Author:
Abstract: This article investigates the higher-order derivatives of position concerning time, including jerk, snap, and extending up to the tenth-order derivative. A mathematical model that accurately describes the motion of an object with high precision and smooth control is presented, along with an analysis of its series convergence. Additionally, the article explores the applications of these higher-order derivatives across various fields of physics. Key areas include advanced robotics and mechanical systems, vibration control, aerospace engineering, and seismology, where these derivatives are particularly relevant. Furthermore, the modeling of complex dynamic systems with high precision is discussed, providing extensive insights into the behavior of these systems.
