Fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position

In physics, the fourth, fifth and sixth derivatives of position are defined as derivatives of the position vector with respect to time – with the first, second, and third derivatives being velocity, acceleration, and jerk, respectively. However, these higher-order derivatives rarely appear, and have little practical use, thus their names are not as standard.
The fourth derivative is often referred to as snap or jounce. The name "snap" for the fourth derivative led to crackle and pop for the fifth and sixth derivatives respectively, inspired by the advertising mascots Snap, Crackle, and Pop. These are occasionally used, though "sometimes somewhat facetiously".
Fourth derivative (snap/jounce).
Snap, or jounce, is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity,
and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions:
The following equations are used for constant snap:
where
The notation formula_6 (used by Visser) is not to be confused with the displacement vector commonly denoted similarly.
The dimensions of snap are distance per fourth power of time. In SI units, this is "metres per second to the fourth", m/s4, m⋅s−4, or 100 gal per second squared in CGS units.
Fifth derivative (crackle/flounce).
Crackle is the fifth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, with the first, second, third, and fourth derivatives being velocity, acceleration, jerk, and snap, respectively; crackle is thus the rate of change of the snap with respect to time. Crackle is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions:
The following equations are used for constant crackle:
where
The dimensions of crackle are LT−5. In SI units, this is m/s5, and in CGS units, 100 gal per cubed second.
Sixth derivative (pop/pounce).
Pop (occasionally "") is the sixth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, with the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth derivatives being velocity, acceleration, jerk, snap, and crackle, respectively; pop is thus the rate of change of the crackle with respect to time. Pop is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions:
The following equations are used for constant pop:
where
The dimensions of pop are LT−6. In SI units, this is m/s6, and in CGS units, 100 gal per quartic second.
