An airplane traveling to the northwest is exerting just enough force to overcome wind resistance. It encounters a sudden wind gust which is directed at 30 degrees south of east, which results in a net force in that direction.
During the half-second before the pilot has time to react to the gust, does the airplane speed up, slow down or maintain constant (or very nearly-constant) speed?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If we sketch this scenario we can see that the direction of the wind is in the opposite direction of the airplane’s motion. This will cause the force to be opposite the motion causing the plane to slow down.

Does it veer a bit to the right, a bit to the left or does it continue traveling along a straight line?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
By analyzing the sketch I believe the wind will cause the airplane to veer towards the right.
