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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
slow down, the wind will cause it.

• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
to the right, the angle is at 30 degrees and it causes the plane to veer more to the right as wind affects it.
