What energy has by a truck increasing speed downhill?
Whenever anything falls down, rolls downward, etc., gravitational potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.
How can the kinetic energy of a truck be increased without increasing speed?
load it
How the kinetic energy of a truck could be increased without increasing the truck's speed explain?
Increase mass For a truck increase the load on the truck
How can a trucks kinetic energy can be increased without increasing its speed?
Drive alongside it in another vehicle and then move stuff onto the truck. This will increase the mass of the [whole] truck and so increase its KE. This is dangerous so do not try it!
Which quantity has the greatest influence on the amount of kinetic energy that a large truck has while moving down 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.
Why does a truck have more kinetic energy than a small car that is moving the same speed of the truck?
a matter of mass
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 is a George Overdrive?
What you refer to as George overdrive is known in the trucking industry as Georgia overdrive. It is going downhill with your truck out of gear. This is gone down grades to allow the truck to accelerate beyond the normal top speed of the engine in to gear without damaging the engine.
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
Should a large truck and a small car moving at the same speed have the same kinetic energy?
No. The large truck has more kinetic energy than the car. Mass is a variable in the equation for determining kinetic energy. Kinetic energy equals 1/2 the mass of the object time the speed (really velocity) squared.
How many minutes for 10 miles with truck?
The answer will depend on the speed at which the truck travels.The answer will depend on the speed at which the truck travels.The answer will depend on the speed at which the truck travels.The answer will depend on the speed at which the truck travels.
Do a truck and a golf cart have the same kinetic energy?
When they're parked they do (which is zero). If a truck and golf cart were both moving at the same non-zero speed, the truck, being more massive, would have the greater kinetic energy.
