Assuming a friction coefficient of 0.5, at what angle would a conveyor need to be at in order to overcome the force of gravity and put a person in orbit? Assume the conveyor belt is travelling at 5 meters/second.

Please convert the conveyor belt velocity to furlongs per fortnight.

toucan, yes. You don't think it's actually possible to build a conveyor all the way to another planet, or even the moon, do you?

The problem still comes down to the fetzer valve. Get me some 30 weight motor oil and some ball bearings.

I would gladly do it but then that would mean that videoag wouldn't ever leave Texags and I would still be fighting ya'll for his attention for the next 10 years!

That bottom gif is bogus.

The pilot's hair would NOT be blowing like that because the plane doesn't move.

Lets say Santa was trying to take off from the roof of your house after delivering your presents, but you had installed a conveyor belt that went in the opposite direction that Santa wanted to go.

Would the sleigh take off?
