Each of the three identical hockey pucks shown in FIGURE 5-44 is acted on by a 3-N force. Puck A moves with a speed of 7 m/s in a direction opposite to the force; puck B is instantaneously at rest; puck C moves with a speed of 7 m/s at right angles to the force. Rank the three pucks in order of the magnitude of their acceleration, starting with the smallest. Indicate ties with an equal sign.
