Why would the car accelerate faster than truck.?

The acceleration of a vehicle is determined by the force acting on it and its mass. The force is provided by the engine, and the mass is the total weight of the vehicle including passengers and cargo.

In general, a car is lighter than a truck, so it has less mass. This means that a car can accelerate faster than a truck, even if they have the same engine.

Additionally, cars are often designed with a lower center of gravity than trucks. This makes them less likely to tip over when they accelerate quickly.

Finally, cars usually have a better power-to-weight ratio than trucks. This means that they have more power for their weight, which allows them to accelerate faster.
