The correct response is:
The truck has more kinetic energy because it has a greater mass.
Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \), where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity. Since both the truck and the car are moving at the same speed, the truck, having a greater mass, will have more kinetic energy.
