Answer:
NO
Explanation:
Acceleration is change in velocityΔv in respect to timeΔt
so if the velocity of the car is greater than the truck it does not mean that the car acceleration is greater than the truck.
Sometimes with constant velocity it means no accelaration ,but the truck may have accelaration
so, higher velocity of the car does not mean higher acceleration
