ok let's rephrase the question in terms of a car.
1 the non-powered front wheels are on the conveyor
2 the powered rear wheels are straddling the conveyer(not on the conveyer)
3 the conveyer is moving the same speed as the car
will the car reach the end of the conveyor or will the conveyor hold it in place? :-)
