I mean, come on! Haven't you ever taken your luggage out of a conveyor belt??? This is simple physics. Newtons first Law. ..unless it is acted upon by an force to change its motion. Or, how does your luggage get into your car? What would cause it to change its motion? Newtons first Law. I'll tell you the truth... it is not that you cannot see the conveyor belt..it's that your 'science teachers' don't allow you to see the conveyor belt. It's against the rules.
