What is a bobtail tractor?
One with no trailer. When you go to a truck stop, a lot of them have "bobtail parking" areas. They don't want you to park the tractor itself in a place a tractor with a trailer can fit, so they'll take the real short areas and designate them "bobtail parking" zones.
Which will take longer to stop full load trailer or empty one?
Typically an empty trailer will take longer to stop. The reason is that the tractor trailer have been designed to work together loaded. The trailer does not get enough traction when empty so the friction generated by the trailer tires to contribute to stopping the truck is not great enough and the stopping distance increases.
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!!
Why does a moving truck takes a much longer time to stop than that taken by a car when brakes are applied on both?
The reason that it takes a moving truck a much longer time to stop than it takes a car to stop when the brakes are applied on both is because the truck weighs more. The more mass a vehicle has the longer it will take to stop.

Why are bobtail tractors harder to stop?
The brakes are designed to stop a vehicle under a load. In addition, the bobtail has two sets of brakes less than a vehicle with a trailer in tow.

How much does a f700 dump truck weigh?
All things dependent, you'd probably be looking at 13,000 to 16,000 lbs. If you need a precise empty weight, my suggestion would be to scale out empty at your nearest truck stop.
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.
