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:
“till disproportion’d sin
Jarr’d against natures chime, and with harsh din
Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
To their great Lord, whose love their motion sway’d
In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
In first obedience, and their state of good.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
““God’s fire upon the wane,
A diagram hung there instead,
More women born than men.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
