Why do it take a large truck longer to stop than a compact car?

A large truck takes longer to stop than a compact car primarily due to its greater mass and momentum. The larger weight of the truck means it requires more force to bring it to a stop, which translates to a longer stopping distance. Additionally, trucks often have larger braking systems that may not be as responsive as those in smaller vehicles, further contributing to the extended stopping time. Lastly, factors such as tire size and road grip can also play a role in the difference in stopping distances.
