Motion in Two Dimensions

The applet simulates a hockey puck moving on ice (without friction), as viewed from above. As it moves it builds a motion diagram-- a set of "tracks" representing the locations of the object at equal time intervals. Also shown is an equally spaced rectangular grid to help you judge the motion. Your task is to determine the direction of the acceleration of the puck, or that there is no acceleration.
