Does fully loaded truck or empty truck have more momentum?
Newton's laws of Motion state that Momentum is a product of Mass times velocity. Momentum = Mass x velocity. Therefore, a loaded truck needs a larger force to move it, and once it's moving, it needs more powerful brakes to stop it. So a fully loaded truck will have more momentum and be harder to stop than an empty truck.
Why does a truck carrying a heavy load move uphill slower than an empty truck even though the engine exerts the same force?
Because the force is acting to move the greater weight. A fully loaded large truck may weight 87,000 lbs more than the empty truck. More work must be performed to move that greater weight.
Why can a car so easily pass a loaded truck when going uphill?
The car is lighter in weight, so requires less effort from the engine to overtake a heavier truck.

Depends on the vehicle and braking system. In a commercial vehicle, the brakes are designed specifically for stopping a loaded vehicle, and an unloaded truck can actually require more stopping distance than a loaded truck.

In calibrating a scale the word tare means what?
"Tare" weight. means the unloaded weight of whatever it is that you are weighing (e.g.: To weigh a truckload of stone you must first know the unloaded weight (tare weight) of the truck. Then, to find the weight of just the stone, subtract the tare weight of the truck from the total weight of the loaded truck. The difference will show you the weight of the stone).
