If a plane tried to land on a treadmill that matched the speed of the airlplane it would keep going as if it was on the normal pavement. The plane would need to rely on brakes or reverse thrust to stop like any plane that lands.

Most planes do relay heavily on thrust reversers to do a large portion of the slowing. Saves wear and tear, and its free energy (after they’re already installed). 😃
