Throw Rapid-Return 2: Zero-Jerk @ Start/End, Finite at Mid-Point

Throw: Rapid-Return with Zero Jerk

Characteristics:

It has a LARGE negative acceleration, and unspecified Jerk, at its maximum displacement - the transition from Rise to Return.

Also, it has zero-jerk at the Start of the Rise and at the end of the Return.

Motion-Values of each motion-derivative

Start of rise segment 1 :

•Position = 0

•Velocity = 0
