Asst 22 Question 1--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As on all forms, be sure you have your data backed up in another document, and in your lab notebook.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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:
I believe it will continue at the same speed but be pushed slightly in the direction the wind gust is blowing since it is strong enough to produce a force.
#$&*
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:
I think it will veer to the right a little bit.
