\( a_c = d \;/\; t \) (Rate of Change in Acceleration) \( d = a_c \; t \) \( t = d \;/\; a_c \) |

| \( a_c \) = rate of change in acceleration | \(ft / sec^3\) | \(m / s^3\) |
| \( d \) = displacement | \( ft \) | \( m \) |
| \( t \) = time taken for change in velocity | \( sec \) | \( s \) |
Rate of change in acceleration, abbreviated as \(a_c\), is the time derivative of acceleration, the second derivative of velocity or the third derivative of position. In physics, it is known as the jerk.
