The conveyor HAS to be working against the engines if it's matching the plane's speed.[/b]
Dude...the only thing that can work against the engines is the air flowing through them. The conveyor is working on the wheels....[/b]
FRICTION.
You guys are completely ignoring friction.
If the engines are off, and if there was NO friction, and that conveyor belt moved, the plane shouldn't budge - it will just have rolling wheels.
But it WON'T. It WILL move backwards.What do you think a wheel is for, Moby? It's there to REDUCE FRICTION.
