Solution

The car, because it has less mass.

This is due to Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In simpler terms, if the same force is applied to both a truck and a car, the car will accelerate more because it has less mass to move.
