At a given time, a parcel of air is moving eastward (a westerly wind) at a speed of 15kt. Some time later, the parcel has veered toward the southeast but has maintained the same speed of 15kt. Which of the following statements must be true? Group of answer choices The parcel must have experienced a force over that time period that pushed toward the south. The parcel must have experienced a NET force over that time period that pushed toward the south. No force could have acted on the parcel because its speed did not change. The parcel must have experienced a force over that time period that pushed toward the southeast.
