Answer: a ball twirled on a string that just broke.
Reason: the arrow is the instantaneous velocity tangent to the circle. If the centripetal force (the string) is removed the object will move off in that tangent direction. A stopped swing would have no arrow, and a satellite or car still under a centripetal force would continue curving rather than flying off tangentially.
