objectively in this case May is stephen hawking and GGhana is hitler
May
- showed up later, still here (okay i looked it up and stephen hawking is dead. well. still was the 2nd person in the example)
- scienciey. and whatnot.
- cant uh move as good as the median person
GGhana
- hitler

I feel like i missed the gghana lore besides didney worl and can you rotate images in ms paint

who the fuck is GGhana
the median person is incredibly slow (in terms of literal movement speed don’t cancel me over this)
What happens if you put a plane on a treadmill answer now

In what sense?
Like, the plane is presumably not moving, so if the treadmill’s moving (I’m presuming the treadmill is sized to fit the plane), it’d just fall off, maybe break the tail depending on the force of it falling off.

No ok so. You put a plane on a runway. The plane is getting ready to take off. Suddenly the runway starts rolling backwards like a treadmill (the plane remains at rest initially, but may be affected by the treadmill itself). How does this affect the takeoff distance? Does the plane have an easier time taking off? A harder time?

plane’s probably schmooving so fast that the treadmill eventually becomes negligible
might have to adjust how quickly you accelerate but probably not by more than on a particularly windy day

Harder time.
My understanding is that a plane needs to be moving fast in order to generate lift and get off the runway. If the treadmill’s canceling that out, it’ll be much harder to reach the necessary speed.
Treadmill moving quite fast, faster than a strong wind (but the bearings on the wheels aren’t like gonna fail or anything)

This is a question about reference frames not about like. Bearing service life

i am not a pilot or a physicist or an engineer do not put me in a cockpit i am making an educated guess
i did get a lot of pilot related reels for like a week though

well at that point i’d start to worry whether the pilot reacts fast enough before the plane rolls out of the back of the runway

What reference frame matters to the plane? The ground or the air?

Would it not be the air?
If the plane doesn’t move, but the treadmill moves it forward fast enough, I’m pretty sure that would still hit the necessary speed for getting off the ground.
lol fair enough but not rly the point of the question

Mhm! Right answer. The plane isn’t meaningfully affected, because it only cares about the wind both for lift and thrust
