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.
Does fully loaded truck or empty truck have more momentum?
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.
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
Can a car and truck have the same amount of kinetic energy?
Yes. If the truck is going very slow and the car is going very fast.
Assuming a car is front wheel drive and assuming the car does not spin out on the truck. If a car pulls onto a truck going 65mph and the truck is going 60mph how fast will the car be traveling?
Upon much thinking, the car will be going at 125mph relative to the earth, and 65mph relative to the truck.
Why can a car easily go to uphill than a heavy loaded truck?
Because car is lighter and has less gravitational force to counter when moving up in comparison to a heavy loaded truck.
What gear do you use in a moving truck going uphill?
not overdrive... it depends how fast ur going
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

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.
