if the treadmill is equaling the speed of the wheels, then it would be.
think about it in small scale, your on a skateboard on a treamill, the treadmill speed = wheel speed, so you are standing still, and if i pull myself forward, then that means that the wheels are spinning faster then the conveyor is moving, this is what is needed for the plane to take off. the wheels NEED to spin faster then the treadmill, period. If the treadmill and wheels are going the same speed, as a person is holding onto the handle on the treadmill, then the plane isnt moving.
The question inadvertently states that the plane is not moving forward by saying that wheel speed is equal to conveyor belt speed. Its a trick physics question

you are correct but the mythbuster states that it will be going at the same speed at the plane. the plane is going no faster also…
so if in theory why the fuck would u put it on a convey to work harder then it needs too…
its like you are on gladiator…running up the conveyor belt to the top of the hill…which makes you work harder then u have too. when u can step to the side and get up the hill without working harder. lol
so the conveyor for the plane whill need to be the same distance as a runaway…so its pointless…
now if you put the hovercraft on that it will fly no problem lol. because the convey doesnt act on the craft that much.
do you know what i mean?
