Why would it run that fast backwards when it only runs as fast as the plane is going.
it depends...if the conveyor is running to match the speed of the wheels:
x= speed of conveyor
y= speed of the plane
x+y= speed of the wheels
while 0<x and y!=0
x != x+y...ever...which means the conveyor is accelerating...
this can only be true when y=0 and y will only equal 0 when the friction force = thrust force...
...equilibrium.
if you simplifly the problem and say that the conveyor matches the ground speed of the plane, you are simply saying:
x = ground speed of the plane
y = speed of the conveyor
and
y = -x
Ff will never get high enough to matter...
but that's not what you people are saying.

I've been saying this all day long.
you people?!
This only makes sense if you are high
Ground Speed + Conveyor Belt Speed = Tangential Velocity (Outer Wheel Layer)
In any event ...
The conveyor is moot.

yes, you people...the wal-mart types.

Actually, most of the more intelligent/educated people on here have been saying that. The two exceptions who are saying otherwise are the people who say the plane won't take off no matter what and myself who is speaking purely theoretically in terms of a superfast conveyor/awesomest wheel bearings ever!
rebel.. that's Wal*Mart.

this word... i don't think it means what you think it means [/princess bride]
It is. I took too long to type all that out.
The plane is being flown by illegal immagrants.
They want amnesty from gravity. That's the only way I see this working.

but it all depends on how you interpret the problem, NA.
and even when Ff = Ft... it is the rolling resistance of the tires that will be the major contribution to the Ff.
Although, it'd be fun to see the bearings fail...
and a huge conveyor fly apart because a plane crashed into it while it was going eleventy billion miles per hour.

Will the conveyor reach ludicris speed?
i blame meen 431
they've gone plaid!
furlongs
flaith is having a love affair with this thread...
I'm starting to worry he is rubbing one out to this thread.
furlongs and fortnights are quite possibly the most awesome units of measurement in the history of forever.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
CDUB,

I think the conveyor belt will fly!!!
please tell me this thread won't last until the show on dec. 12th....

Jim Halpert: OK, Whoa, all right 'cause that's a pretty intense accusation. How do you know that they're fake?
Dwight Schrute: Uh, Leprosy, Flesh Eating Bacteria, Hot Dog Fingers, Government Created Killer Nano Robot Infection

Let's make sure it will.
