Hey guys. Hope I'm not stickin' my nose in to a friendly little
debate......but you could look at it like this...if you're pushin' your
truck down the road it's gonna take a certain amount of work to keep the
truck movin' 10 mph.......then you come to a hill.....now it's takin' more
work to get up the hill and still go ten mph. The truck can't work more
without the rpm raisin'. The downhill trip is gonna have gravity helpin'
ya out so you're gonna need less work to keep the same speed. Make sense?
I knew that Physics class would get used somewhere. 8^)
Ok, I'm buttin' out now... ;^)
