A car and a truck are moving with the same velocity of 60 kmh^-1 . Which one has more kinetic energy?

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motor car that was moving with a high velocity on an express-way when an insect hit the windshield and got struck on wind-screen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of motor car (because change in the velocity of insect was much more than that of motor car). Akhtar said that since the motor car was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. As a result, the insect died. Rahul while putting in entirely new explanation said that both the motor car and the insect experienced the same force and same change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.

A motor car moving at a speed of 72 km /h can not come to a stop in less than 3.0 s while for a truch this time interval is 5.0s On a highway the car is behind the truck both moving at 72 km /h The truck geives a signal that it is going to stop at emergency. At what distance the car should be from the truck so that it does bot bump onto (collide with) the truck. Human responde time id 0.5 s. (comment : This is to illustrate why vehicles carr the message on the rear side. "Keep safe Distance").
