Answer:
Compared to smaller vehicles, semi trucks have:
- Longer stopping distances.
Explanation:
Semi-trucks can be more than ten times the weight of a common car and even if they travel at a similar speed, the inertia force is affected by the weight of the semi-truck, in which case the braking distance can be double that a regular car, for example, when a fully loaded semi-truck traveling at 55 mph tries to brake, requires about 100 yards to achieve full braking, while a regular car traveling at the same speed requires approximately 45 yards.
