A Motion Diagram for an Object Speeding Up in the Positive Direction
A motion diagram is a simplified representation of the motion of an object.
The motion diagram for an object which is speeding up in the positive direction is made up of dots which get farther apart in the positive direction. The video below and at the left shows a student who is speeding up in the positive direction for two seconds. Note: The students have designated the positive direction to be to the left. 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). Three dots are shown because the motion diagram represents only two seconds of motion (starting at 0 seconds and ending at 2 seconds).
