An ice skater is executing a figure-eight, consisting of two identically shaped, tangent circular paths. Throughout the first loop, she increases her speed uniformly, and during the second loop she moves at a constant speed. When the ice skater travels during the first loop, the acceleration vector is not directed towards the center, whereas when the ice skater travels in the second loop, the acceleration vector is directed toward the center. Is this true or false?
