“Since the belt measures the speed of the plane (assume ground speed) and applies the exact same velocity but in the opposite the direction, the plane WILL NOT MOVE.”
ohh my goodness…i can see this is going to be tougher for you youngings than I thought…
1=the plane is 100% isoloated from the conveyor due to the FACT it does not move through space from wheel LOCOMOTION… it uses friggen thrust to propel it forward…
if its wheels are going 1 million miles an hour the other way (if they could
wheels are on the ground… conveyors are on the ground… planes are NOT
now this would be TOTALLY diffrent if instead of a plane it was a CAR…the car could never get off the conveyor no matter how hard it tried…since ITS form of locomotion is its WHEELS…the conveyor would compensate…
however a plane is NOT a car…nor is a rocket…
lets say a rocket is on this conveyor…and you lanch it? your telling me that cause the conveyor is moving 1000mph or whatever below it , it has any effect on the rocket?..
the rocket would fly off just like normal…same as the plane…however in the planes case…its little wheels would be moving more quickly than normal…due to the fact the conveyor was trying to comepensate for the planes increasing forward motion in relation to the conveyers fixed position on the ground…
the plane will not take of because of the fact planes dont fly soley due to thrust. they need lift to take off. lift is caused by air moving over the wings. the forward motion is canceld out by the converor belt, there is no air passing over the wings and therefore no lift is created.
