The kinetic energy for a large vehicle is different from that of a smaller vehicle, assuming that the vehicles are travelling at the same speed and stopping the same distance. This is because for a larger vehicle the kinetic energy is higher, as the mass for a larger vehicle, is more than the smaller vehicle.

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$
