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?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> n:
The wind would be blowing from the west, in order for the airplane to veer east.
• What sort of path would it follow for the first second or so?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It would be moving to the side, in the east direction.
• If the wind keeps shifting so as to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion what path will the airplane follow?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It will continue to move some in the easterly direction.
