Re: A Plane Problem
Okay, better answer:
friction = 0
if there is no friction, it doesn't matter on what kind of treadmill, rollerblade, ice, tarmaq or whatever it is moving, since it will only stop the body of the plane from crashing into the ground, then it will simply take off using normal power.
friction = 1 (meaning all power of the treadmill is transferred to the plane, countering any propulsion), no airflow -> no take off
0 < friction < 1,
the plane accelerates slowly and will or reach the end of the treadmill before reaching the critical speed to take off or will take off before it will reach the end of the treadmill
