SEED Question 24.1

If an airplane is flying north, from what direction would the wind be blowing to most effectively cause the aircraft to veer toward the east?

• What sort of path would it follow for the first second or so?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

The wind direction would be from West or Northwest to cause the airplane to veer a bit to the East. The airplane would still follow the path traveling in the North direction and then it would start to veer East.

• If the wind keeps shifting so as to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion what path will the airplane follow?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

If the wind keeps shifting, the airplane will start to follow a path counterclockwise from the East direction.
