Are tractor-trailers slower to speed up and take longer to stop than cars?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: True

Tractor-trailers are typically much heavier than cars, thus requiring more power to increase speed. This results in a generally slower acceleration from a standstill. Additionally, the heavy weight of tractor-trailers makes it more difficult for them to stop quickly, leading to a longer stopping distance compared to cars. This can be especially dangerous in emergency situations or when road conditions are poor. Therefore, it is true that tractor-trailers are slower to speed up and take longer to stop than cars.
