Motion diagram
Diagram used in physics to represent the motion of an object
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. They show an object's position and velocity initially, and present several spots in the center of the diagram. These spots reveal whether or not the object has accelerated or decelerated.[1]
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. Therefore, a motion diagram is more informative than a path.
