If the first derivative is the slope and the second the acceleration, then what is it called for the values before the first derivative?

f(x) - ?

df(x)/dx - slope

d² f(x)/dx² - acceleration

f(x) - ? df(x)/dx - slope d^2 f(x)/dx^2 - acceleration

What's the derivitive of a constant? Please use newtonian representation when discussing mechanics. Flys don't dot screens often these days.
