Which one of the following words best describes the term gradient?

b-although gradient is deals with curves(like quadratic graphs) and slopes with straight lines

Disconsolate.  It can also be jumbled to form another word, "consolidates".  But the latter has a different meaning.

Nonlinear is a term used to relate one property to another. If the two properties are related so that a change in one property causes the other to change proportionally, they are linear. One way of looking at this is if you were to graph one versus the other, you would get a straight line with the slope being the ratio of the rate of change of one compared to the other.\n\nFor example, solids, liquids and gases tend to expand proportionally to temperature.\n\nProperties are nonlinear if they are not proportional to each other. For example, if one varies as the square root of the other, or the second or third power of the other, they are nonlinear.\nAir has many properties that are nonlinear. For example, the speed of sound in air is nonlinear when compared to the air temperature.

In music gradation is gradual change within one parameter, or an overlapping of two blocks of sound.\n\nWith color it is similar: a consistent and gradual change from one color to another.

Sliding friction is the friction that an object has while it's moving.\n\nAn eraser has the most sliding friction.\n\nStatic friction is the resistance of an object from movement. I suppose since an eraser has the most sliding friction, it will also have the most static friction. that or a paperback book just because it's heavier.\n\nit really depends on the coefficient of friction. \n\nI should say that the eraser will have the highest coefficient of frictions, but the paperback book will have the highest overall friction just because of it's weight.

It is well known that the first derivative of position (symbol x) with respect to time is velocity (symbol v) and the second is acceleration (symbol a).  It is a little less well known that the third derivative, i.e. the rate of change of acceleration, is technically known as jerk (symbol j).  Jerk is a vector but may also be used loosely as a scalar quantity because there is not a separate term for the magnitude of jerk analogous to speed for magnitude of velocity.
