2. Erratic Motion
is a type of motion that occurs whenever a given motion
parameter (such as s, v, or a) is not continuous. It can also occur when
the function has jumps or sharp bends.

When a particle has erratic or changing motion then its position,

velocity, and acceleration cannot be described by a single continuous
mathematical function along the entire path.
