yeah wouldn't the plane go bouncing up and down the treadmill in the gaps between the rollers? There's your y direction forces!

This is really very simple. Without a doubt, the plane may or may not take off. And it may or may not leave on time.

Yes, because in reality, physics doesn't matter at all. It's just hogwash.

Dumbass.

rolling resistance does increase with velocity.

http://stinet.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=AD0746304

it also increases with deflection...which aircraft tires have quite a bit of since they are underinflated by design so they don't burst with the shock of landing.

that's why Bias-ply tires will get you better fuel mileage while radials will keep your car on the road.

I bet this guy says the plane WILL NOT take off.

It's laughable that someone thinks rolling resistance will stop a pair of jet engines at full throttle.

actually i can call Y Z and X whatever the feck i want

coordinate systems are defined by the person working the problem, and as long as you stay consistent throughout the problem it doesnt matter

Another example of how physics is a made up science.

Just call it whatever you want and see what happens - WOOHOO.
