- Nice try Martin. If you had prefaced your comments, given the same weight and the same rolling friction, you might have invented a great empirical test. What ever happened to inertia? Bill Bill Saide

- Double duh...........ever heard of inertia, it's kinda related to mass, which for you earthlings is weight, which is one of the predominant (of many) variables affecting non-space-travel coasting dis

- the predominate retarding force is drag not rolling friction.. F=MA where F is drag plus rolling friction and M is the mass of the car and A is the difference in speed divided by the time it took to
