Viewing Motion Diagrams
One of the major usages of motion diagrams is to present film through a series of frames taken by a camera. Viewing an object on a motion diagram allows one to determine if an object is at a constant rest, speeding up or slowing down. As the frames are taken, it can be assumed that an object is at a constant rest if it occupies the same position over time. It can be assumed that an object is speeding up if there is a visible increase in the space between objects as time passes.. An object can be assumed to be slowing down if there is a visible decrease in the space between objects as time passes. The objects on the frame come very close together.

—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
