** **
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?
The pilot would react most likely by trying to speed up to resist the gust,
The question is about the half-second before the pilot has time to react to the gust.
answer/question/discussion:
• Does it veer a bit to the right, a bit to the left or does it continue traveling along a straight line?
The plane would veer to the right from the northwest direction to a more north direction.
