Effect of Force on Motion

Use this Illumination is to gain insight into the effect of net force upon motion. Your task is to add tracks to a motion diagram based on the direction of the net force acting on it. In each case the force is such that the displacement changes for each step are 0 or 1 unit in the x- and y-directions. If you're unsure of the relationship between acceleration and track spacing of a motion diagram, you may want to review Acceleration from a Motion Diagram.
