** 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

Before the pilot has time to react to the gust a half-second before, there is still some time before the opposition of the wind hits. Therefore, the airplane should remain very nearly-constant to the speed it was traveling before additional resistance.

• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

Before the airplane gets hit by the additional air resistance, it is traveling in a relatively straight line which we were told was going to a northwest like direction.
