The second derivative of a distance-time plot is an indication of acceleration.
If the second derivative is positive, the graph curves upwards and is an indication of acceleration. This would be like looking at a photo of Raquel Welch.
If the second derivative is negative, the graph curves downwards and is an indication of deceleration. Think of looking at a photo of Hillary Clinton.
You mean like this:

From Dr. Steve Nerem’s presentation a few years ago about why there’s no acceleration in sea level rise during the satellite altimetry era.
mmmmm, raquel welch mmmmmm. what was the question ?
There was a question? I saw a bikini, but….
Uhh …. was there a question?
The real question is this: Does the second derivative yield a global min or a global max?
Then it would be inflection of the deflection
DO NOT mention Raquel in the same sentence as the other one. Don’t harsh my mellow. 😉
Ditto. (one of those two is not the same as the other)
The Hildabeast gives me shivers just thinking about her in a bikini 🙁
Maybe Obama can buy her a burka.
Why do you think Slick Willie turned to interns?
Heh. Rumor has it that Hillary latched onto Bill to fulfill personal ambitions, not love or …. A marriage of convenience, in some other words. Bill was always the glad-handing lecher. The Hildebeast knew what she was getting into. Rumor has it that Hildebeast had other predilections. Me, I don’t know and don’t really care.
However, we should never forget how she earned her bones (Watergate) and that she’s always had a harridan’s nature.
“Alienation of affection”; Hill plays for the other team.

Thanks I just had to clean off my screen
You’re in good company. LMAO…..
A picture of Raquel NOW vs the other one would work!
Heck, a picture of Raquel NOW v a picture of the other one younger would STILL win!!!!!!!!!!
For being in her 70s, she’s still damn hot.
Raquel Welch … showing your age their Steve …
Or believing in eternal beauty!
And you got anyone better from the current generation?
Truthseeker sure is right. Tony, you’re getting old. This is Raquel Welch now: 73 years of age.

I would still prefer her over Hillary Rodham Clinton

Hey, he could have posted one of Sophia Loren…
Ann Margaret!
College photos of Sela Ward :P.
Anybody know who this woman is?
Hint: she was my elementary school sweetheart.

She looks very familiar.
Would that be Amy Pofahl (Povah?), whose sentence was commuted by President Clinton in 2000 after serving 9 years of a 24 year sentence for a drug crime?

The court case filed against her and co-defendants:

990 F.2d 1456
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Amy Ralston POFAHL, Charles T. Nunn, and Randy White,
Defendants-Appellants.
No. 92-8104. United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. May 6, 1993.
Her story in the Dallas Observer:
http://www.dallasobserver.com/2000-10-19/news/the-agony-and-the-ecstasy/
Tantalizing excerpt:
Although there is no question that Ralston shouldn’t be in prison, a closer look at the case reveals that Sandy Pofahl wasn’t quite the heartbreaker he was portrayed as being–and that Ralston isn’t quite the innocent she paints herself as. In fact, untangling the web of half-truths found in her story calls to mind the title of a “semi-true” screenplay Ralston wrote shortly before her 1991 arrest.
