I fail to see how this is not relavent. Yank should have its own article as jerk does.

You're absolutely right, perhaps I'm being too quick to speedy. Can you reference your source for an independent definition of Yank, so we can enhance the article? Budgiekiller 21:51, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Good try, but the bottom of the reference states: Needless to say, none of these are in any kind of standards, yet. We just made them up on usenet. so I'm not convinced this is a decent ref! Budgiekiller 21:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

It gives me just enough info to understand Yank in relation to jerk, etc. Please to not delete.

I do not understand what the problem is on this still, yank is casually referred to in various sources. Admittedly it is not the official term, but the Physics Usenet is not a worthless source. --Joe 23:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Defenatly keep, This page is usefull and has a purpose (someday)!

I vote for delete. A bunch of nerdy engineering students at Penn State cannot coin a physics term. Papercrab 22:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
