Best Answer

The truck has a greater mass and therefore a greater amount of inertia to overcome. To accelerate a greater mass requires a greater force.

How will the final velocity be greater then the initial velocity?

It doesn't necessarily mean that the final velocity is always greater than the initial, if the initial velocity was at rest or 0 m/s then any form of movement would be greater. In cases where the final is smaller is like running into a wall or a decrease in acceleration.


What is one example of velocity?

One example of Velocity is that if you are running in the same direction, your speed and velocity is the same. But if you are running AROUND the track, your speed is the same but your velocity is changing.


Why do some people walk rather than run when its raining?

The velocity of the rain hitting the person running is greater than when the person is walking. This is felt on the human skin as non-periodic pressure. The faster the running, the greater the pressure - people feel this as increased "pain" after a certain point.


What has greater momentum and athlete with a mass of 90 kg or one with 100kg and they have the same velocity?

An Athlete with a weight of 100kg, running at the same speed as a 90 kg athlete will have a greater momentum and will push the 90 kg athlete backwards.


What would be the velocity of ball which is thrown by the man who running at the speed equal to the velocity of light?

As velocity never exceeds the velocity of light.... so i hope a man running with the velocity of light will not be able to throw a ball with any velocity.......... we may get the maximum n minimum velocity with which that can be thrown mathematically that we may get it to be zero................


Obdh fault codes po171 system too lean bank1?

i please the engine is not running good and if you accelerate the engine is not accelerate and the code is p0171


What is best to say about a runner that is running at a constant velocity?

The best thing to say about a runner that is running at a constant velocity is simple. They are really keeping up the good work.


Is it possible to run round an oval running track at constant velocity?

No, it is not. At a constant speed, yes. But velocity has a direction component, and by running on (following) a curve, a change of direction (and, therefore, velocity) will have to be made. Again, note that speed can stay the same, but velocity has a direction vector associated with it that cannot be ignored.


1998 jimmy will run and go but after running for a while it won't accelerate?

It might be your catalytic converter.


Why does your ac stop blowing when you accelerate?

it shouldn't stop blowing, but the compressor will shut off momentarily while you accelerate to get slightly more horsepower than it would with the compressor running


The ability of running water to erode a surface depends on?

Power and Velocity.


What is the best to say about a runner who is running at a constant velocity?

Their acceleration is zero.
