Given that,
Two similar trucks are moving with a same velocity on a road. One of them is loaded while the other is empty.
According to given data,
Loded track has more inertia of motion and greater momentum compare to empty track.
So, more force is needed to stop the loaded truck than the empty truck.
Hence, Loaded truck require a large force to stop.

The loaded truck requires more force to stop it than the empty truck.
Explanation:
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
p = mv.
Since velocity is the same, momentum of the truck is directly proportional to its mass.
The loaded truck has greater momentum than the empty truck.
We will need greater force to stop an object with higher momentum or a greater mass.
So the loaded truck requires more force to stop it than the empty truck.
