question concerning meters per sec cubed

think

Because I think I have to?

Hello, does anyone have any experience with changes in acceleration or the limits of changes in accelerations such that acceleration is the change in velocity then the change in acceleration would be the distance per sec cubed?

I was considering solving the three point gravity equations and attraction problem using this form of change in acceleration but just don't want to repeat another persons work?

maybe a link or name of someone might be helpful?
 
All I know is that my highschool physical teacher once mentioned that the derivative of acceleration was called "jerk".

my highschool physics teacher did not want me to "waist" my time solving for the three point gravitational constant.., G that's units are meters per sec sec

I believe that G changes and is not constant but has units of meters per sec sec sec.

btw the derivative of acceleration is velocity I am solving the integration of acceleration as a function of time. Although yes jerk would be a kind of generalized effect of acceleration changes. and still I have yet to see the sun "jerk" through the sky. possibly warp would be another way to describe the change in accelerations.

Well, yeah, because the Earth's rotation isn't accelerating. :confused:

in relation to the center of the galaxy we are "spiraling into to it at an ever increasing acceleration yep latest reports agree.,

Actually the solar system orbits around a star system composed of Arcturus and the Pleiades and this star system is at a constant speed.

Well, according the Edgar Cayce anyway. ;)
 
i know Eager Cayce he is still in dream land visit him from time to time but in the "real world" it is a third order equation that describes three space right? As far as the latest field theories are concerned so just looking for some info.,, *goes to bookshelf gets Eager Cayce book* didn't he just tell us what to eat and not eat in order to be alive - memory of book - never make cerial with fruit juice only use milk? that is my best recolet of his stuff.,,

where is the profit in that anyway?

Other way around.


thanks yes these are the third order diff eq so I am wrong er a dyslexic actually not your fault not that I would blame you .,,

anyway thank you again for the help that was the problem I had actually and needed to resolve .,, have not read the college physics text since 2001-2
 
The derivative and second derivative of acceleration are important things in rollercoaster design.

Nowadays, they actually design the shape of the tracks by specifying where they want the passengers to feel these two sensations: jerk and jounce. :)

Interesting site on him and his prophecies.
 
that is almost totally off topic but let me try to bring it home.,,, what is home?

so yeah the change in the gravity constant occurs like now but how to solve the systems of equations when at the giant distance between the three that are aligning needs to be directed in greater detail or something along those fields yet my notes at the galactic convention was slightly sketchy not to say they were not accurate just the other representatives did not know common wealth dialects et. c. translations in the mix

The way is not real but is anyway.

Going to move the rest of the conversation to fan fiction possibly?
 
So you want to solve the three body problem... just like that, by differentiating acceleration?

I would want to use partial differentials but in multi-variable problems they hold all things constant where that is not true they all change simultaneously and one can not constantfy all variables except the dimension that your concerned with.

But surely this does not effect the relative motion of the Earth and the Sun? If the solar system was spinning in at close to the speed of light but relatively the Sun and Earth retain the same pattern and speed of movement, then we would not see it manifested in a jerk of the Sun, or anything else.
