The Physics Hierarchy: Defining Rate of Change from Velocity to Pop
Master the physics concepts that describe how motion changes over time, from basic speed to obscure but mathematically real concepts like "snap" and "pop." Learn the hierarchy of motion derivatives used in real-world physics and calculus.
Short Summary
- Define speed, velocity, and acceleration as sequential rates of change originating from position.
- Recognize that acceleration requires a change in speed or direction (or both).
- Identify the higher-order physics terms—Jerk, Snap, Crackle, and Pop—as successive derivatives over time.
Chuck Nice and Neil deGrasse Tyson explain the escalating mathematical descriptions of movement. These concepts directly link to calculus derivatives, providing a practical framework for understanding complex physical dynamics.

"I need a very strong 'I'm with you' because it doesn't get easier from here" 😂
Let's see a show of hands for the StarTalkians who actually already knew these terms before watching!
The next derivative is “Splat” 😮
“I’m like: sorry, kid.” I completely lost it when Chuck said that… 😂😂😂😂
Just learnt about this a week ago and now I see my personal astrophysicist talking about it.
I do enjoy the Chuck chart.
I love NDT explaining things to chuck so much.
“I know I think I understand what I thought you said but I'm not sure that I realize that what I heard may not be what you meant.”
“Speed never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary… that’s what gets you” Jeremy Clarkson
I don't care how long I've known this, I still like hearing Neil explain it. Calming even. Thanks for the vid!
