Find jerk of time varying force
This gravitational field we move inside has some distance L after which it becomes 0.Before L it is just like any gravitational field.
Suppose we move inside that gravitational field.The acceleration we experience depends on the distance from the planet.
At t=to we enter the gravitational field and assuming the velocity and acceleration was 0 then:
where j is the jerk or
How can we find the jerk?

I'm assuming that what's happening is that, for
We can perform a Taylor expansion of
Now, we say that
By a similar argument, we also have that
This gives us our value of jerk as
