An airplane is travelling North through the sky at a constant speed when turbulence causes it to take a different route, changing its direction. Explain the forces at work on this plane.

• Unbalanced, because the plane is moving forward, not backwards
• Unbalanced, because the speed is constant and there is a change in direction
• Balanced, because the plane is not falling to a lower altitude
• Unbalanced, because the plane is in motion
