Ok so what were saying is that the treadmill is going FORWARD and Im going FORWARD both of us at the same speed yes this will double my speed. but if im going------> that way and the treadmill is going <------ that way the 2 speeds will cancel each other out . now if what ruiner is talking about the treadmill and the plane both going the same way then yes I can understand the plane taking of but if they are going in different directions the no the plane will not fly.
I'll let you read it one more time:
Original problem:
There is treadmill and it is as long as a runway. The plane is sitting on the treadmill. The wheels on the plane are free-rolling. The treadmill will roll, in reverse, to match the exact speed of the plane. For example, if the plane is doing 100knots, then the treadmill will spin at 100knots in reverse. As the plane increases speed, so will the treadmill. Will the plane take off
