You are correct, but I think that defeats the point of this thought experiment. If it was to grab the air and move forward, then what's the point of the treadmill? All the treadmill is doing is...
No, if we assume the air around the airplane is stationary at 0 m/s, then the plane must move RELATIVE to the ground at 45mph (or whatever). No matter how much thrust is produced, it is travelling at...
This is hyopthetical, if the treadmill is capable of keeping the plane fixed then it will not lift off. Of course the thrust from the airplane is capable of accelerating it off the treadmill...
How can the thrust move the plane forward if it's sitting on a treadmill? The treadmill is fixed to the ground, therefore no relative velocity between the air and the wing.
Nooo! The engines push the air through the TURBINES not over the wing! The air being pushed into the turbines is combusted wich produces THRUST, which moves the wings forward which then generates...
Planes do not generate lift directly from the engines, lift comes from the relative velocity between the air and the wing which is provided by the engines. The...
It's hilarious how many people in this thread think they know better than the scientists and experts involved in the rescue effort. Pointing out blatant observations isn't smart, saying they are...
Incorrect, if GPS were both receive and transmit, how do you think the satellites up in space could handle the millions of requests per second being transmitted through? GPS satellites emit a...
The very concept of modern day money and finance would never work without the technology created as a result of algebra and mathematics. The very concept of finance and investments could...
lol, people who don't think algebra should be taught should have their computers, phones, cars, heating, lighting, homes, processed and packaged food taken away from them
If someone was to cut very quickly and loose a lot of LBM, would they then be able to regain that LBM quickly as soon as they re-enter a caloric surplus? I don't think the hype over LBM loss during a...
There is only one way around this - you have to avoid the thought topic completely. Your body is designed to survive, if you aren't deficient in vitamins and you are getting regular exercise your...
