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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : The plane will slow down. If the plane is traveling NW and the gust is directed south of east, it is colliding with the plane almost head on. This increase in wind resistance will cause the plane to slow down.
• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : It depends what angle North of west the plane is traveling. It seems to me that it may veer a little but will most likely travel in a straight line. If it is 30 degrees north of west, it deff will stay straight, but if it is 45 degrees which is somewhat suggested, it will veer right.
