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 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
How does inertia help us?
Inertia deals with an objects reluctance to change its velocity. So if its not moving, you will have to exert a large force to get it to move. But once it is in motion, its inertia helps it move by lowering the breaking effect of resistance. If you throw a bowling ball through a grass field, it will go father than a beach ball thrown in a similar manner, because the bowling ball has more inertia!!
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.
Why would a large truck have more inertia then a small car?
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.
What has more inertia a car a truck a scooter a bike or a truck?
k
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.
Would a dump truck have more inertia than a go kart?
Yes
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.
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 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.
Why is the acceleration is faster in small objects than in large objects?
The difference is due to inertia. Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion (acceleration). A more massive object will have greater inertia, and therefore a greater resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a slower acceleration. A less massive object has lower inertia, and therefore less of a resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a faster acceleration.
Which is heavier a compact car or a large truck?
You have to know the answer already. The large truck is heavier of course.
Which has greater inertia a large mass or a small mass?
A large mass. The traditional view is to refer to inertia in terms of Newton's First Law of Motion. However, it became common for Physicists to use the mathematically more useful Newton's 2nd Law of Motion to describe inertia in terms of how difficult it is to change the momentum of a body. The 2nd Law of Motion tells us that Force = Mass x Acceleration. "Inertia" in this context is thus directly proportional to the body's mass.
What does the term 'semi' in semi truck refer to?
Well the more correct term would be 'semi Trailer-Truck' or something to that capacity. It means that it is both a large truck and partial trailer in the sense that it has the capacity of a large hauling truck and a small living quarter for a person travelling to rest in when they are stopped at a truck stop. Such Trucks are meant for carrying large quantities of cargo long distances by road and allowing for the driver to rest from time to time.
