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 would need to be coming from the west to get the aircraft to veer toward the east. Initially the plane would fly north 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 kept shifting so as to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion, the airplane’s path would continue to shift in a clockwise direction.
