What else can I help you with?
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?
The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass and speed. Since the truck has a greater mass than the car but they are traveling at the same speed, the truck will have more kinetic energy than the car.
What will happen to the truck and car if a very large truck and a tiny car traveling at the same speed collide head on?
In accident reconstructions, head on collisions where equal mass vehicles come to a stop on impact are virtually nonexistent. Physics says the much lighter vehicle should be carried backwards by the heavier one, but it never happens, the smaller car will go underneath or off to the side Not sure. All I know is that there wouldn't be a tiny car for very long... ^_^
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?
If the car pulls onto the truck while maintaining a speed of 65mph, and the truck is moving at 60mph, the car's overall speed will be 65mph. The car's speed does not change by being on the truck, it merely matches the truck's speed.
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.
Which quantity has the greatest influence on the amount of kinetic energy that a large truck has while moving down the highway?
Kinetic energy is equal to mv2/2, where m is mass and v is speed. Since speed is squared in this formula, changes in speed have a greater influence on the kinetic energy than do changes in mass.
Do large trucks take longer to stop than a car traveling at the same speed?
Yes. Because the truck is heavier.
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 the greater potential energy if both are traveling at the same speed-a fully loaded truck or a motorcycle?
Clearly the truck, as it is heavier

Which information is needed to determine how fast a truck is traveling?
speed and time
Studies have shown that a tractor-trailer truck traveling at 55 mph will typically need the stopping distance of an automobile traveling at the same speed?
Yes it will need the stopping distance of a automobile traveling at the same speed and then it will need a few hundred more feet as well.

How can a car and semi truck have the same momentum?
By traveling at the same speed. Kinetic energy is a completely different story, however.
In a brake test a truck traveling 85 miles per hour can decrease its speed by 73 percent every half second Approximatly how long will it take for the truck to stop?
6%
What will happen if the car and truck collide at same speed head on?
well since the truck is a lot heavier the force of the truck will damage the car terribly and then with the force it would push the car back which will make that car hit another car and so on eventually this chain will continue if something stops It or the truck (since so large) will not see the car causing it to go on top of the car and damaging eventually killing the person inside the car
How many minutes for 10 miles with truck?
The answer will depend on the speed at which the truck travels.The answer will depend on the speed at which the truck travels.The answer will depend on the speed at which the truck travels.The answer will depend on the speed at which the truck travels.
