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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If the wind were to come from the west, it would push the plane in the easterly 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If the wind kept shifting to follow the plane, the aircraft would start to fly in a circle. This is because the force would keep causing the plane to veer away from the wind until it completely turned in a circle.
