Newton's laws of Motion state that Momentum is a product of Mass times velocity.
Momentum = Mass x velocity.
Therefore, a loaded truck needs a larger force to move it, and once it's moving, it needs more powerful brakes to stop it. So a fully loaded truck will have more momentum and be harder to stop than an empty truck.

Why does a truck carrying a heavy load move uphill slower than an empty truck even though the engine exerts the same force?
Because the force is acting to move the greater weight. A fully loaded large truck may weight 87,000 lbs more than the empty truck. More work must be performed to move that greater weight.
Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?
Momentum is the product of velocity and mass.
Which truck has more momentum a 2000kg truckor a 2kg truck?
That would depend on their velocity (speed with direction), since the formula for momentum is momentum=Mass*Velocity. If they are moving at the same Velocity, the heavier of the two would have greater momentum.
Why it is more difficult to stop a fully loaded truck than an unloaded one?
Inertia... In common usage, the term "inertia" may refer to an object's "amount of resistance to change in velocity" (which is quantified by its mass), or sometimes to its momentum, depending on the context. (Look it up on Wikipedia)
When would the linear momentum of a truck be greater than that of a bus?
Since momentum equals mass times velocity, if the mass of the truck times its velocity is greater than the mass of the bus times the bus' velocity then the momentum of the truck will be greater than the momentum of the bus.
How much do a coca cola truck weigh?
2856kg fully loaded or... 1800kg un-loaded or empty
Why does loaded truck start more slowly than an empty truck?
becoz loaded truck has got more weight than the empty truck.....so becoz of which loaded truck has got more friction in tyres compared to empty truck...this may the reason why loaded truck starts slow than the empty truck
When is a truck most likely to jackknife loaded over loaded or empty?
Empty
What does operating weight of a dump truck refer to?
Fully loaded
How tall is a logging truck when fully loaded?
very tall
What is truck gross weight?
The Gross Weight of a truck is the weight it's rated to be at when fully loaded
Which is faster to stop an empty truck or loaded truck?
Depends on the vehicle and braking system. In a commercial vehicle, the brakes are designed specifically for stopping a loaded vehicle, and an unloaded truck can actually require more stopping distance than a loaded truck.
What is the weight of a 15 CY dump truck fully laden?
It depends on the density of the material that is loaded on the truck.
Why does a truck carrying a heavy load move uphill slower than an empty truck even though the engine exerts the same force?
Because the force is acting to move the greater weight. A fully loaded large truck may weight 87,000 lbs more than the empty truck. More work must be performed to move that greater weight.
Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?
Momentum is the product of velocity and mass.
Which has the greater potential energy if both are traveling at the same speed-a fully loaded truck or a motorcycle?
Clearly the truck, as it is heavier
Would it be more difficult to stop a truck carrying a heavy load or to stop the same truck empty?
A truck that is more heavy with the same velocity whil the truck is less heavy it will have more momentum!!
