The only difference is the energy required to obtain the same speed. The extra weigh of a truck means that more energy is required to move the greater mass as Force = Mass x acceleration (F = MA). Thus if more mass is being accelerated more force is required.

Speed = distance travel / time taken to travel. (S = D/T)

Thus speed would be the same for a car and a truck.

How does the car, while pushing the truck, accelerate to reach cruising speed?

When a car pushes a truck, the car's engine provides the necessary force to accelerate both vehicles. As the car gains speed, the force of friction between the tires and the road decreases, allowing the car to reach cruising speed.


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.


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.


Use Bernoulli's principle to explain why a car passing a truck tends to be pushed toward the truck?

As the car passes the truck, the air pressure between them decreases due to the Bernoulli principle as the air speeds up to fill the space. The higher pressure on the truck side then pushes the car toward the truck, a phenomenon known as the Bernoulli effect, which causes vehicles to feel this force when passing closely.


What is the difference between constant and non-constant motion?

Constant motion is when an object maintains a steady speed and direction over time, like a car driving at a constant speed on a straight road. Non-constant motion is when the speed or direction of an object changes over time, such as a car accelerating or turning.

What are the main differences between truck and car tires?

Tha main difference between a truck and a car tire is that a truck tire is going to bi bigger and more heavy duty. Most trucks are seen working and hauling stuff that a car cannot and that is why they make the tires more heavy duty.
