Question

What are the SI units for jerk?

Answer 1

Jerk is measured in metres per second cubed (m/s3) in SI units , or in feet per second cubed (ft/s3) in imperial units..

jerk equals 0.3048 m/s3 or about 0.03108g /sec.

Answer 2

meters per second cubed.

Answer 3

m/s*3, maybe. It is the rate of change of acceleration, right?

Answer 4

LOL, "JumpingS" is an idiot.  He shouldn't be answering questions in the physics area.

LOL "yeah youre the Jerk!!!!" Jerk

Answer 5

m/s³

Answer 6

Jerk is the time derivative of acceleration. Therefore, the units are the units of accleration divided by the units of time: that is m/s^2 divided by s. The answer is m/s^3.

Think about it. When we say that the jerk is j (m/s^2)/s, what we mean is that in each second the acceleration will change by j m/s^2. Just like how an accleration of "9.8 meters per second per second" means that each second the velocity will change by 9.8 meters per second.
