So a plane is on a conveyer belt......
#3
moliver Wrote:What is your point of reference? In the plane or on the conveyer belt or looking from somewhere else?

This being a real world application, assuming we could build a conveyer belt long enough.

The point is the plane starts on the belt at 0, and as it tries to accelerate the belt matches the planes speed in the opposite direction. Will the plane take off?

The premise is based around a jogger on a treadmill.
