The only difference is the energy required to obtain the same speed. The extra weigh of a truck means that more energy is required to move the greater mass as Force = Mass x acceleration (F = MA). Thus if more mass is being accelerated more force is required.
Speed = distance travel / time taken to travel. (S = D/T)
Thus speed would be the same for a car and a truck.

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
Use Bernoulli's principle to explain why a car passing a truck tends to be pushed toward the truck?
cause the truck has more power and it increases the cars speed and the speed slows the car and makes it work arder to pick up speed
How can you show the difference between speed and velocity?
Velocity is speed with direction. To show the difference, show the direction of an object compared with speed alone. For example, a speedometer shows speed alone, a car on a road can show speed and direction.
If a large truck and a small car are moving at the same speed which has the greater kinetic energy?
The truck - greater mass.
What affects car speed?
Fiction: between the tires and the road. the car with the air in the drivetrain
What is the difference between a car and a truck?
Well the main difference is that a car is made out of plastic, and a truck is made out of metal.
What is the difference between VR and R on tires?
VR = Sports car tire with a maximum speed rating of 149 mph. R = Light truck tire with a maximum speed rating of 106 mph
What is the difference between a 3 speed and a 4 speed automatic car?
difference between 3 and four speed is, a 3 speed has 3 forward gears. a 4 speed has 4 forward gears
Difference between big block Chevy truck rod and passenger car rod?
the big Chevy truck rod is bigger than a passenger car rod.
What are the differences between car manufacturing in 1930s and car manufacturing in 2000s?
speed, safety and look difference

What are the main differences between truck and car tires?
Tha main difference between a truck and a car tire is that a truck tire is going to bi bigger and more heavy duty. Most trucks are seen working and hauling stuff that a car cannot and that is why they make the tires more heavy duty.
Difference between a car and a truck?
a car is a small vehicle used for traveling with out using much gas and used for a family a truck is used for carrying heavy loads and going on all terrain

Whats the difference between a car and pickup?
