14. Lurch 6 linear

The model and its justification
    Adding the four time intervals to the model represents a significant complication to it. It represents the fact that we know only what happened from one frame to the next, not anything within a frame. But the details within a frame can strongly change the answer, and we must take account of their effect on the answer and on its uncertainties.
    This procedure calculates the speed of the rearward lurch of JFK's upper body from the bullet, the body, the cloud, and the large fragments, and incorporates 3-D motions of the cloud, the large fragments, and the body: Before doing that, however, it interposes three steps having to do with the times. (1) It first calculates v_snap and uses it to calculate t_snap. (2) Then it calculates t_transit and combines it with t_snap with t_delay to calculate t_lurch. (3) Then it uses t_lurch and d_frags to calculate v_frags. At this point it returns to the former procedure and (4) solves for v_bodyafter and v_cloud. To simplify matters a bit, it sets v_frags23 = v_frag1 and f_kefrags23 = f_kefrag1.
    Including these time intervals leaves the default solution about the same: -1.04 and 401 ft s^-1 for lurch and cloud, respectively, versus -1.02 and 378 ft s^-1 in Lurch 5 Linear. The sensitivities and effects change, however, presumably to better reflect the true situation.

Solutions to simultaneous equations

v_bodyafter = -1.04 ft s^-1 v_cloud = 401 ft s^-1
v_frag1 = v_frags23 = 363 ft s^-1
v_snap = 5.1 ft s^-1
t_transit = 0.33 ms
t_snap = 35.8 ms
t_lurch = 16.5 ms
