This shows the pathways of droplets discharged by a moving spout.

The spout targets a point near the centre of the image. It starts out with a velocity not parallel to its displacement from that point and then accelerates towards it with constant magnitude of acceleration. Meanwhile, it discharges droplets in the opposite direction to its velocity.
