Answer:

Coriolis effect: The return flight from Seattle to Harton is towards South East of Seattle

As the plane travels in air towards south, the air will carry it to the east, giving it that eastward velocity as a result of coriolis effect. The acceleration increase is as a result of the southward speed of the airplane.
