A Motion Diagram for an Object Moving at a Constant Speed in the Negative Direction
A motion diagram is a simplified representation of the motion of an object.
The motion diagram for an object which is moving at a constant speed in the negative direction is made up of equally-spaced dots. The video below and at the left shows a student who is moving at a constant speed in the negative direction for five seconds. Note: The students have designated the negative direction to be to the right. You can see a motion diagram representing the student's motion below and at the right. The blue dots represent the object in question (the student). Six dots are shown because the motion diagram represents five seconds of motion (starting at 0 seconds and ending at 5 seconds).
