That is all.

The plain doesn't fly. PLANE and simple.

The wheel speed is 4, but the plane velocity will remain at 0 which is = to the air velocity (0). There for, the planes wheels will be spinning a 4, but the plane will not move.

I didnt realize the plane had power before.

Or does it not?

there is no lift, you'd be better off with a big fan

The premise states "The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyor moves in the opposite direction."

Therefore, it has to have power or it would just be moved back to the back of the conveyor belt.

whats so hard about understanding if one thing is moving in any direction, the same force is need pushing from the other side to stop it and keep it stationary.............no a wall does no count.

seriously people he is right. The wheels have nothing to do with the plane.

The engines on a plane push the air behind it, not the ground. Ground speed dosent matter.

In a perfect world, imagine that the wheels dont have any friction. In that case, the fact that the ground was moving would have 0 effect on the plane. Add in friction from the wheels, you get drag, but because the engines on a plane are so powerfull it wont make any difference.

i dont see any other way of explaining this. The wheels dont matter. The plane flys by pushing the AIR behind it. Whats its wheels are doing dont matter. Its not like a car that needs to push off of thr ground to maintain velocity. The plane pushes off of the air around it to keep up to speed, whether on the ground or in the air.

STOP ALL THIS MADNESS

i brought this up in physics today and 2 professors agreed with what i have said.

If the plane was stationary it wouldnt fly, but the fact is, it wouldnt remain stationary. I think thats whats confising people. NO one claimed that the plain would like levitate off of the runway anf fly off. Its the fact that once the plane turns up its engines, it will over come the drag caused by the friction of the wheels and take off.

The ground is always moving......remember, we live on earth. Big rock, 3rd from the sun.

It's constantly rotating.
