Yes. At the same velocity, a truck would have more momentum than a car as it has greater mass. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity: ρ=mv

A car and a truck are traveling at the same speedWhich has more momentum why?
If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
Which has more momentum a moving car or a moving truck?
moving truck
What has more inertia a large truck or a small car?
momentum is velocity multiplied by weight so if a small car weighs less than a large truck then it just needs to go faster to aquire the same momentum.
How fast is moving a 10000lbs truck at 20mph strikes a 2000 lbs car at rest and all the momentum is transfered to the car how fast will the car be moving?
The car can't end up moving faster than the truck. Momentum doesn't affect speed, it only affects whether the truck can move the car. Since the truck weighs more, the car will be moved. If the truck is moving at 20 MPH, the car will start moving at 20 MPH on impact, but unless the truck continues moving and speeds up, the car won't move any faster than the original 20 MPH of the truck.
What has the most momentum a car a truck a motorcycle or a train?
A truck.
When a toy truck collides into a toy car the momentum of the what is the same before and after the collision?
The total momentum of the system doesn't change. In this case, it refers to the momentum of the toy truck plus the momentum of the toy car.
What has more inertia a truck or a skateboard?
skateboard.....if velocity is zero,then momentum is also zero.
Can a slower car have more momentum than a faster car?
Yes. The Formula for momentum is Momentum= Mass x Velocity. If the slower car has a larger mass, it will likely have a larger momentum.
What is the momentum of a 500 kg truck before it strikes a 300 kg parked car?
Momentum defined as p=mv.. The momentum of the truck depends on its velocity
Which has a greater momentum a heavy truck at rest or a moving automobile?
The momentum of any object depends on its mass and its speed. If a car and a bike are both moving at the same speed, then the car has more momentum because it has more mass than the bike. If the car and the bike are moving at different speeds, then we need to know the speeds of each, in order to make any determination about their respective momenta.
A quantity which is conserved in the collision of a car and a truck is?
Total momentum
Which of the following has greater momentum a 500 kg car moving at 64 km a 250 kg cart moving at 12 km or a 1000 kg truck moving at 32 km?
Momentum (p) equals mass times velocity, or p=mv, and I assume that when the question says "moving at 64 km" it is referring to the cars velocity. The car will have a momentum of 32000 kg*km/s. The cart will have a momentum of 3000 kg*km/s. The truck will have a momentum of 32000 kg*km/s. The car and the truck both have a greater momentum than the cart.
