In physics, snap, also referred to as jounce, is the fourth derivative of the displacement vector with respect to time, with the first, second, and third derivatives being velocity, acceleration, and jerk, respectively; in other words, the snap is the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time.

Currently, there are no official designations for the derivatives of snap. The fifth and sixth derivatives of displacement as a function of time are "sometimes somewhat facetiously" [1] referred to as "Crackle" and "Pop"; however, these terms have not gained widespread acceptance.
