Seed question 24.1
If an airplane is flying north, from what direction would the wind be blowing to most effectively cause the aircraft to veer toward the
east?
What sort of path would it follow for the first second or so?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If the airplane is flying north the wind should blow from the west to make the plane go toward the east
For the first second the plane would be going north east.

If the wind keeps shifting so as to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion what path will the airplane follow?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
If the wind keeps shifting and remains perpendicular to the direction of motion the plane will continue to follow the perpendicular
path, so if the plane is going north and the wind blows from the west the plane will go toward the the east continuously.
