The purpose of drawing a motion diagram.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A motion diagram is the visual representation of the motion of an object.
In a motion diagram, the motion is represented by placing dots which represent the position of the object at that given instant. The interval between two consecutive dots is assigned a specific time interval. Thus, this information can also be used to determine the velocity and acceleration of an object.
Conclusion:
A motion diagram is used to visualize and represent the motion of an object on paper and also to find the velocity and acceleration of the object.
