Why does loaded truck start more slowly than an empty truck?
becoz loaded truck has got more weight than the empty truck.....so becoz of which loaded truck has got more friction in tyres compared to empty truck...this may the reason why loaded truck starts slow than the empty truck
Why do the brakes lock on a lightly loaded truck with a particular brake pressure than a heavier one?
The brakes are designed to handle that truck at the loaded weight - when under that weight, a bit more finesse needs to be used when braking.
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.
Which is faster to stop an empty truck or loaded 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.
Why it is more difficult to stop a fully loaded truck than an unloaded one?
A fully loaded truck has more mass, which means it has more momentum and requires more force to stop it. Additionally, the extra weight increases the truck's inertia, making it harder to change its speed or direction quickly. This is why it takes more time and distance to bring a fully loaded truck to a stop compared to an unloaded one.
Why can a car so easily pass a loaded truck when going uphill?
Cars are typically lighter and have more power-to-weight ratio than loaded trucks, allowing them to accelerate faster uphill. Additionally, cars often have more aerodynamic designs, which can help reduce air resistance and improve fuel efficiency during uphill climbs.
Why is it more difficult to stop a fully loaded truck than a unloaded one?
because it is affected by gravity
How do flatbed trucks handle in the snow?
When they're empty, they can be a nuisance. Loaded, more of less like any other truck.
Which is heavier a ten wheeler dump truck loaded with sand or ten wheeler mixer loaded with cement?
Assuming they have the same wheelbase, they would both have the same legal gross weight limit, in accordance with Bridge Law Formula. Both vehicles are capable of being loaded with more than what they can legally haul. The dump truck would be able to haul more weight in terms of product, as it would have the lighter tare (empty) weight of the two.
Average cost per mile to operate a truck and horse trailer?
This depends on several factors. How big the truck and trailer are. How old is the truck. New trucks are more energy efficiant. Is the trailer loaded or empty. If loaded how many horses are being trailered. Newer trucks pulling trailers get about 17 to 22 miles per gallon.
Does a truck take an equal amount of time to stop as does a car?
of course not.....and that's because of the vehicles weight. A truck is heavier than a car so more mass has to be stopped and if the truck is loaded it takes again more time. It´s physical, the law of the moving materia ;)
How much does a fully loaded grain truck weigh?
Feed truck... Mine is a western star tractor and a tandom axel trailer with a belly auger and stinger 8 bins holding 3 metric tonne feed each. Truck empty is 16 tonne. This makes for a truck that can be over 90,000lbs!
