What will happen to the truck and car if a very large truck and a tiny car traveling at the same speed collide head on?

In accident reconstructions, head on collisions where equal mass vehicles come to a stop on impact are virtually nonexistent. Physics says the much lighter vehicle should be carried backwards by the heavier one, but it never happens, the smaller car will go underneath or off to the side
Not sure. All I know is that there wouldn't be a tiny car for very long... ^_^

A very large truck and a tiny car traveling at the same speed collide head on what is true?
There is no false statement accompanying the question.
Why do high speed trains slow down when they pass each other?
in case the speed they are traveling causes them to collide or rock against each other and scrape
How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?
You can be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed if you change directions.
What will happen to an object moving at constant velocity?
Such an object is traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. Nothing will happen to it until the forces acting on it become unbalanced, or it runs into something.
Traveling without changing speed?
When you (or an object) travel without changing speed, then you have constant velocity (speed). This means there is no change in speed (acceleration) when you (or an object) is traveling.
A very large truck and a tiny car traveling at the same speed collide head on what is true?
There is no false statement accompanying the question.
What will happen when a car is traveling at steady speed?
That doesn't make sense. What do you mean, what will happen? Happen to what..?

If you were traveling at the speed of light in a car what would happen if you turned on the headlights?
Nothing
When traveling behind large trucks what should your following distance be?
This depends on your speed and may depend on what country you live in. Where I live you should travel at a distance suitable for the speed you are traveling.
Why traveling at the speed of light would we disperse?
No such thing would happen. Matter cannot reach the speed of light, only massless things can (and they cannot travel at any other speed than the speed of light).
If a car is traveling at the same speed for a long time it is said to be traveling at what?
cruising speed
How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?
You can be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed if you change directions.
Do large trucks take longer to stop than a car traveling at the same speed?
Yes. Because the truck is heavier.
What will happen when an object will try to travel at more than the speed of light?
Nobody knows for sure. We have never witnessed a physical object traveling faster than the speed of light.
What will happen to an object moving at constant velocity?
Such an object is traveling at a constant speed in a straight line. Nothing will happen to it until the forces acting on it become unbalanced, or it runs into something.
Compare velocity from acceleration?
Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)
