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.

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.


When a large truck pushes a small car with a given force the small car is applying an equal and opposite force on the truck?

Yes, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So when the large truck pushes the small car with a force, the small car applies an equal force back on the truck.


What has more inertia a large truck or a small car?

A large truck typically has more inertia than a small car because inertia is directly proportional to an object's mass. The greater mass of the truck means it will resist changes in its state of motion more than the smaller car.

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.

Can a performace truck be the answer to your hauling needs?

A performance truck may be helpful in your hauling needs. If you are towing a large item, like a 5-wheel camper or large recreational trailer, it will do better on the road. If you are looking to tow a small boat with a trailer, a performance truck may not be necessary.


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.
