How does a jetliner contrail move sideways at the same rate as clouds are moving while the plane appears to be unaffected by the wind and stays at the front of the contrail?

The jetliner's engine/power keeps it on the desired direction of the flight. That engine/power is designed to be stronger than the winds (most of the time :) and thus the jetliner will look unaffected by them. The contrail on the other hand, once released, is free in the air without any inner force to give it a direction. Therefore the contrail will follow the wind's direction as do the clouds in its vicinity.

How long does a jet white trail last?
Commonly known as a contrail (condensation trail), the white vaporous trail that is visible coming out of jet aircraft is a result of three concurrent events: 1. Hot jet exhaust cooling as it exits the jet engine. 2. Atmospheric moisture (humidity. 3. Particulate matter as residue from the burning of the jet fuel. As the jet exhaust cools, water molecules condense on the minute particles of carbon in the exhaust forming water droplets and visible vapor, which appears as the white trail behind the jet. The length of the trail generally is determined by the relative amount of atmospheric moisture (humidity) present in the plane's path. The more humidity, the longer the contrail, and conversely, the less humidity, the shorter the contrail. As time passes, the contrail disperses. Wind speed at that altitude can affect how long the contrail is visible. More wind will disperse the contrail more quickly.

Silver can tarnish in air, when a black coating appears on its surface (an oxide of silver). However gold is unaffected by air, water and most other substances. That is why it has been cherished through the ages.

Why do you feel like you're flung sideways when your car travels around a sharp curve?
centrifugal force. Basically, your body is trying to go straight, and the car turns into you. But since the car is more massive then you, it carries you with it. From the reference of the car, it appears that you are flung sideways, but you aren't. It is similar to if you watch someone driving on TV and the camera is moving with them, it looks like the person is staying still, but the background (trees, bushes, and what not) is moving, even though we know it is not.
