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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
depends on whether 30 degrees is measured off of the south axis or east axis .
30 degrees east will cause the plane to move right while 30 off of south will cause it to veer left.

30 degrees south of east start with east, then goes 30 degrees toward the south
