Actually, the truck DOES decelerate, but its mass is so very much larger than the mass of the leaf, that the amount of deceleration is infinitesmal and too small to measure. Theoretically, at least, it is there.
No, it is not harder to accelerate a moving object. The initial motion of the object does not affect the force required to accelerate it further. The force required to accelerate an object depends on its mass and the desired acceleration.
Yes, a magnetic field can accelerate a moving charge through a force known as the Lorentz force.
A non-moving object in equilibrium does not accelerate or change velocity. It remains stationary and experiences no net force acting on it.
No, it takes the same force to accelerate a moving object as it does to accelerate a stationary object, according to Newton's first law of motion. The force required depends on the mass of the object and the desired acceleration.
Gravity has no effect on an object moving horizontally at a constant speed unless the object is falling downward due to gravity. In that case, gravity will accelerate the object downward while it continues to move horizontally.

Not all moving objects accelerate. In general, an object will accelerate if there is a net force acting on it. For a ball in the air, this might be gravitation + air resistance; for a moving car (once you turn the engine off) it might be the force of friction; etc.
The second car accelerates

A: because earths gravity cannot be harnessed forever unless the earth is moving with you. B: because earths gravity is not strong enough to pull you along unless you are in space as friction from air resistance will stop you.

Wind moving water and falling rock are examples of kinetic energy, which is the energy of movement.
