A tractor trailer truck and a car are traveling at exactly the same speed and both drivers apply equal braking force at exactly the same moment Does the truck have greater inertia or less inertia?

All you need to know to answer this question is whether the truck is heavier than the car. Assuming this is true, yes, the truck does have a greater inertia. Inertia is related directly to mass, so because m_truck > m_car, inertia_truck > inertia_car. Generally, inertia refers to the ability to change the velocity of an object.

Is braking distance greater on a smooth road?
Yes
Which obect has a greater momentum traveling at a constant speed?
The one with greater mass.
If two vehicles are traveling at the same velocity which one has the greater momentum?
The one with greater mass.
When you apply on brakes in a car is the force balanced?
It depends on where it is on. Normally the braking force is balanced on an axle but different between axles. i.e., the braking force between left and right brakes on an axle is the same but the braking force on the front axle might be greater than the rear.
Which has a greater momentum a small pick up truck traveling at 55km an hour or a full-sized bus traveling at the same speed?
Momentum is mass times velocity, if the velocity of the two are the same, the object with the greater mass will have proportionally greater momentum.
Does traveling at a high speed require greater stopping distance?
Yes
What is it called when change from a higher to lower gear to allow the engine to have greater pulling or braking power while driving?
Downshifting
Why is 0.618 greater than 0.618?
They are exactly the same. One is not greater than the other.
Farming allowed people to spend more time?
traveling greater distances.
What is true about disc brakes?
It has a superior design that features a greater braking force.
Which decimal is greater 0.90 or 0.9?
They are exactly the same.
Is 0.23 less or greater than 0.046?
0.23 is exactly 5 times greater than 0.046 is.
