Question
semi-trucks are slower to speed up and take longer to stop than cars.
true
false
Brief Explanations
Semi - trucks have more mass than cars. According to physics principles (Newton's second law for acceleration and concepts related to momentum and friction for stopping), a larger mass means more force is needed to accelerate it, so it speeds up slower. Also, due to their greater mass and size, the stopping distance is longer as more momentum needs to be dissipated. So the statement is true.
