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.

Which greater inertia a moving toy car or a large truck parked in a lot?

A large truck parked in a lot has greater inertia compared to a moving toy car. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object. Since the truck has significantly more mass than the toy car, it will have more inertia, making it harder to start moving or stop compared to the toy car.


Which is heavier a compact car or a large truck?

You have to know the answer already. The large truck is heavier of course.


Does an object with more momentum have more or less inertia?

An object with more momentum will have more inertia. Inertia is the ability to resist a change in force; objects with higher masses and higher speeds will have greater inertia. Speed * mass = momentum


Which of these has the most kinetic energy-?

These include very large things, like planets, and very small ones, like atoms. The heavier a thing is, and the faster it moves, the more kinetic energy it has.


What is a landform that has small and large rocks?

Your question is OK but it is a bit too general to help you with an answer. For instance: A cliff will crumble to produce small and large rocks. A stony desert surface will have small and large rocks present on it. A river bed will have small and large rock in it. A moraine is comprised of small and large rocks. A beach is comprised of small and large rocks. And there are many many more possible answers. However, I feel that you want a specific answer and for this you would need to ask your question a bit more precisely.

because it has greater mass


Which has more inertia a motorcycle or a truck?

I think the truck has more inertia because ethe motorcycle seems less dense than the truck.


Which has more momentum a large truck moving at 30 miles per hour or a small truck moving at 30 miles per hour?

The large truck moving at 30 miles per hour will have more momentum because momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and velocity. Since the large truck has more mass than the small truck, it will have more momentum at the same speed.

What has more inertia a truck or soccer ball?

A truck is heavier, has more mass. So at the same speed, the more massive object has more inertia. A scientific word for inertia is Momentum, defined as mass times speed, and is equal to force times time. So a 1 kilogram mass operated on by a 1 Newton force for 1 second would move at 1 metre per second and would have a momentum of 1 kg-N.


Would a dump truck have more inertia than a go kart?

Yes


Which has more momentum a large truck moving 30 miles per hour or a small truck moving at miles per hour?

To determine which truck has more momentum, we need to consider both mass and velocity. Momentum is calculated as the product of mass and velocity (momentum = mass × velocity). If the large truck has a significantly greater mass than the small truck, even at 30 miles per hour, it is likely to have more momentum than the smaller truck moving at a different speed. Without knowing the speed of the small truck, we cannot make a definitive comparison.


Which weighs more a truck or a feather?

A truck weighs more than a feather. Trucks are heavy vehicles designed to carry large loads, while a feather is very light due to its small size and structure.


Why aren't inertia governors are used widely?

Inertia governors are more sensitive than centrifugal type of governors.A small change in the speed of engine introduces large amount of change in the rotating bodies of the governor which are difficult to balance .


Why does a truck carrying a heavy load move uphill slower than an empty truck even though the engine exerts the same force?

The extra weight of the heavy load increases the truck's inertia, requiring more force from the engine to accelerate. This results in slower uphill movement as the engine works harder to overcome the increased resistance from gravity and inertia.


Why does a semi truck have more inertia?

Inertia is a measure of how resistant an object's motion is to changing that motion, and is related to the mass of an object. Increase mass and inertia increases; decrease mass and inertia decreases. For an object to have greater inertia, it must therefore have greater mass. Semi- trucks are very massive vehicles, much more than others normally found, so they will have more inertia than anything else driven on roads. An average car or light truck might have a mass of 1 to 2 tonnes; semis usually have many tens of tonnes mass.


What happens when a small car collides with a large truck?

When a small car collides with a large truck, the force of impact is usually greater due to the size and weight difference between the two vehicles. This can result in more severe damage to the smaller car and potentially lead to serious injuries or fatalities for the occupants of the small car.
