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
