Well I guess it depends on your definition of infinite jerk. (practical approximation or theoretical absolute) In your example acceleration does not actually jump to zero in a large step. so I think it's just very very high, not infinite. just as shooting a bullet from a gun has jerk, acceleration and then speed. It really has to doesn't it? just really hard to measure it :) Chris M ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
