A truck and a car are traveling down the highway at the same speed If the truck has a greater mass than the car how do their kinetic energies compare?

Well if the truck is heavier than the car and going at the same speed, either the truck is going slow, or the car is going fast

If an object traveling in one direction has a positive velocity what kind of velocity would the same object traveling in the opposite direction have?
Regardless of the direction being travelled, any object on the move has a positive velocity, even if it is moving backwards, because velocity is the measure of the rate of movement in a given direction. Compare: A car is traveling forwards on a highway at 100 km/h. How fast is it travelling? If it turns round (or even it doesn't turn round, but just reverses) and travels at 100 km/h, how fast is it travelling? The answer is 100 km/h in both cases. (But reversing on a highway and travelling at 100 km/h is not recommended!)
Why does a car burn more gasoline traveling in a city than it does traveling on an interstate highway?
In the city, a car has to brake frequently. Energy is usually wasted in that case. Also, for example, in front of a red traffic light, the motor continues to waste gasoline even though the car doesn't advance.Note that the car uses more gasoline per km., not necessarily per hour.

Which quantity has greatest influence on kinetic energy that a big truck has while moving on the highway?
Kinetic energy is equal to mv2/2, where m is mass and v is speed. Since speed is squared in this formula, changes in speed have a greater influence on the kinetic energy than do changes in mass.Read more: Which_quantity_has_the_greatest_influence_on_the_amount_of_kinetic_energy_that_a_large_truck_has_while_moving_down_the_highway
