A car will stop at short distance
F=m*a(F=force, m=mass, a=acceleration)
F= equal
a=equal
Mass=carMassTruck*a=MassCar*a
MassTruck>MassCar
Therefore car will take less time to stop and truck will take more time to stop
F=m*a(F=force, m=mass, a=acceleration)
F= equal
a=equal
Mass=carMassTruck*a=MassCar*a
MassTruck>MassCar
Therefore car will take less time to stop and truck will take more time to stop
