Statement-1 true

\\ Work \ done =\Delta K E \\ Work \ done =-\mathrm{FS}=0-\mathrm{K} \\ \mathrm{S}=\mathrm{K} / \mathrm{F}

Since kinetic energy and force are the same for both car and truck, both will cover the same distance to come to rest.

Statement-2 false

\text { Velocity is changing } \Rightarrow \vec{a} \neq 0
