Exactly. However it seems that this debate reaches one point... whether, if the conveyor alone were moving the plane would move with the conveyor or stay in the same place.
I say that it would not roll without being pushed. If the conveyor moved beneath the plane, the plane would move with the conveyor. Ed says the opposite. I haven't put a plane on a conveyor yet though.
Lets try.
Ground 'Speed' = 0
Plane 'Speed' = +10
Belt 'Speed' = -10
Actual Plane Speed = ground speed + plane speed - belt speed = 0
I do not understand why the belt would be moving at double speed. If it was, the plane would move backward.
Ground 'Speed' = 0
Plane 'Speed' = +10
Belt 'Speed' = -20
Actual Plane Speed = ground speed + plane speed - belt speed = -10
