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.
