. How fast the conveyor or its wheels move is completely irrellevent.

However, they need to specify that the conveyer is going backwards at TWICE the speed of the plane.

right and wrong. Depending on what you actually meant to say, you may have contradicted yourself.

If the conveyor was moving at, let’s say “Viper-speed”,or standing still…it would still take off at the same speed in the same ammount of time…assuming ideal “frictionless” wheel bearings which provide no resistance in the opposite direction.
