A vehicle was at rest for a long time. Suddenly it started moving. If the rate of increase in its acceleration in short interval of time is
Then find its displacement from its starting point after 6 seconds of its motion.

We already know the law of linear movement at constant acceleration rate to be ( displacement ) x = x 0 + v 0 t + 2 1 a t 2 If the acceleration is not constant, but increases at a constant pace, we simply introduce a new concept of Accelerated acceleration , the Jerk, j . The formula becomes: X = x o + v o t + 2 1 a t 2 + 2 1 × 3 1 j t 3 Where, Time, t = 6 s e c Initial Position, x 0 = 0 Initial Velocity, v 0 = 0 Initial Acceleration, a 0 = 0 Accelerated Acceleration, Jerk, j = 2 m s 3 Solution: X = 0 + 0 + 0 + 6 1 2 × 6 3 = 2 ∗ 3 6 = 7 2 m
