A motion diagram represents the motion of an object by displaying its location at various equally spaced times on the same diagram. Motion diagrams are a pictorial description of an object's motion. It shows an object's position and velocity initially and presents several spots in the center of the diagram. These spots reveal whether or not the object has accelerated or decelerated. . For simplicity, the object is represented by a simple shape, such as a filled circle. It contains information about object positions at particular time instances and therefore a motion diagram is more informative than a path.

Famous quotes containing the words motion and/or diagram:
“Too many Broadway actors in motion pictures lost their grip on success—had a feeling that none of it had ever happened on that sun-drenched coast, that the coast itself did not exist, there was no California. It had dropped away like a hasty dream and nothing could ever have been like the things they thought they remembered.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
