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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
slows 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Right
