Many people realize that the first derivative of position wrt (with respect to) time is called velocity and is represented by the symbol v and that the second derivative wrt time is called acceleration, denoted by the symbol a. Probably fewer people know that there is a technical name for the third derivative wrt time which I'll leave to the sufficiently curious reader to google.
