In this case drag can be neglected? So your formulas work except
when they don't? Its the brakes that cause the truck to slow
unless the brakes are applied and the truck just drifts to a
stop. In this case the aerodynamic drag is NOT to be neglected.
Do you think like this all the time, Eric, or just when you're
trying desperately to counter our statements?
