** **
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?
I would say that the airplane would slow down slightly.
• Does it veer a bit to the right, a bit to the left or does it continue traveling along a straight line?
The plane will veer a bit to the right, based off of my interpretation of the graph. On a xy-plane the airplane is heading in a 135 degree angle, 30 degrees south of east would mean a 330 angle. Opposite direction of the plane.
