If someone came up behind you and pushed you, would you be going at the same speed, or would you be going faster than the treadmill?

Here's another, how about an aircraft carrier? They are moving yet a plane is still able to take off? How is that possible if a plane can not take off on a "treadmill" the size of a runway? Do you think the carrier can only be going one direction for the plane to take off?
Carriers and aircraft do not move at the same speed.
