No one said they would be. They would be different than the belt.

I mean you can Google this if you don’t want to believe me. The answer is it moves and not only that it moves as if the belt wasn’t even there.

Yes I get it that it’s impossible but the riddle implies that the speeds match, any natural scenario would have the thrust force dominate the frictional drag.

Guys, it doesn’t matter if the treadmill can match the speed or not. frick it, make it to where the treadmill is going backward 2x faster backward than the plane ever could move forward.

THE PLANE STILL TAKES OFF
