Truck B will have a greater stopping distance.
The square of an object's mass (m) and velocity (v) determines its kinetic energy (KE), which is equal to
Thus, truck B, which has a faster velocity, will have a substantially higher kinetic energy for a given mass.
Both trucks must overcome the same amount of kinetic energy in order to stop when the brakes are deployed.
Truck B needs more distance to descend to zero velocity because it has more kinetic energy.
So, truck B will have a greater stopping distance compared to truck A.
The complete option are :
If two trucks have the same mass, but truck A is traveling 15 km/h, and truck B is traveling 30 km/h, what statement is true? Question 2 options: Truck A has greater kinetic energy. Truck B has less kinetic energy. Truck B will have a greater stopping distance. Truck A will have a greater stopping distance.
