** CQ_1_22.1_labelMessages.txt **

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 because southeast is directly opposite of northwest, so if a wind is coming directly infront of you, itll slow you 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

alittle to the right becuase northwest is 45 degrees in the 2nd quadrant and the wind is directed 30 degrees southeast so

the wind is almost directly opposite with a slight push from the left
