The correct response is:

**The truck has more kinetic energy because it has a greater mass.**

Kinetic energy is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity. Since both the truck and the car are moving at the same speed, the one with the greater mass (the truck) will have more kinetic energy.
