    The answer is no because if a dog slips on an icy road and hits a trashcan then the fruit basket would contain apples.

    The question should state weather the speed is in relationship to the treadmill or the ground. I origonally put no because I was thinking the the speed was in relationship to the treadmill surface(as if you were running on one) but if that was the case, the treadmill wouldn't be moving if its speed was measured in relationship to itself.

    the answer would have to be no. just because the wheels are rolling at a fast enough speed doesnt mean that there is air going over the wing at a high enough speed to produce enough lift to get it air born.

    What prevents the plane from moving forward just as it would on any runway?

    sigh once and for all final answer.. it would..

    the planes wheel's are free moving.. except for when they wish to apply some brakes.. so if theres a treadmill it applies no real force on the airplane to push it in any direction forward or backward.. since the airplanes propulsion/thrust comes from its engines mounted to the wing with move the body and not through a drivetrain to move the wheels. Thus the thrust to the airplane's body will be the same.. Again thing free moving wheels..

    sigh..

    No, because the planes wheels are only rated to a certain speed. Even if the jets on the plane propel it forward, they will spin so fast that they fall off before take off.

    except it comes in for a landing twice as fast as it takes off

    Its a trick question, the speed of the wheels is completely irrelevant to the plane being to take off.

    So it depends on how fast the treadmill is going?


    Why the fuck would you put a plane on a treadmill in the first place.

    Just think, some people will go the rest of their life not knowing this. Is there a Santa Claus? How are babies made? ...some people may never know.

    and what is the problem with that? there are plenty of people whose lives are so fragile that they need to believe in something to just keep going and there are things in this world they do not need to know about.....

    for example....have you seen Jesus? has Jesus performed a miracle just for you? have you had one on one talks with Jesus? so why do some people believe and some don't?

    Because the conveyor belt is moving in the opposite direction, it would be the same as a plane normally landing/taking off, therefore it would take off

    BUT

    if the question had stated that the belt moved in the same direction as the plane, therefore counteracting any forward motion, no the plane wouldn't have taken off

    its about semantics people, read the fucking problem

    Neither forward nor backwards would have any effect on a plane propelling itself forward.

    yes it would - theory of relativity, groundspeed = airspeed - regardless if its freerolling

    a plane couldn't take off going forward with its wheels at a stand still, or rolling backwards due to it not having achieved any groundspeed

    but its all theoritical

    What's preventing the plane from propelling itself forward? Planes aren't powered by their wheels, ever seen a pontoon plane take off? The speed of the wheels or surface below it has nothing to do with a planes ability to propel itself forward and take off...

    The plane will not take off. The plane needs lift which is generated by the air moving faster on the top of the wings than it is under the wing. With the air not moving over the wings, no lift will be created therefore the plane cannot lift off the ground. This is of course all negated if you are talking about a Harrier which uses thrust and not lift.

    sayin a plane could take off on a treadmill is like sayin that your actually going forward when you car is on a dyno. just because the wheels are spinning doesnt mean your going anywhere.
