If there's a slope down the faster one would be the heavy one. On a flat surface with no slope, the light one may start off much quicker; Although, the lighter one has a higher chance of flipping over.

Is a smaller or lighter car necessarily faster?
A lighter car is not necessarily faster than a smaller car, as it depends upon the power of the vehicle. If the question is asking whether a smaller or lighter car is necessarily faster than a larger car, again the answer is "no". The larger car can easily be more powerful.
Does a heavier car stop sooner than a lighter car?
It takes longer for a heavier car to stop than it does a lighter one. Velocity increases as mass increases in turn increasing the time needed to stop (trains, semi trucks).
Why is it harder to stop a train than a car even when the car is moving faster?
The train is heavier than the car is and the train has more things in the back. The train is heavier than the car is and the train has more things in the back.
Why does a heavy toy car go faster than a lighter toy car and get acorss a jump?
A heavier toy car is better to go down a ramp and make a jump better than a light car because the heavier the toy car is, the faster gravity will force it to roll down the ramp, and with all its speed, be able to make the jump. Of course, you wouldn't want to make the toy car so heavy so that it barely or doesn't move at all. Just like drops of water when it's raining outside and a few drops hit your window. The heavier drops drip off faster than the smaller ones, and that goes the same with cars, too.
Does the car have to be heavier to move faster?
No.
Is there any advantage to buying a lighter car subwoofer over a heavier model, other than weight?
If you are using the car for any sort of racing purposes then a lighter model is preferred.
Riding a heavy car in accident is safer than light car expalin in terms of physical principles?
A heavier car has more inertia, resistance to a change in motion, than a lighter vehicle. Therefore in the event of a crash the lighter vehicle will have a greater change in motion relative to the heavier vehicle; the less the change in motion, the safer.
Which is heavier a house brick or a car battery?
A brick would be lighter.
Why would the car accelerate faster than the truck.?
The lighter weight car takes less time to gain momentum, than a heavier weight truck.
Why does a car stop faster then a train?
Because a train is a lot heavier and travels at faster speeds.
How does weight affect speed of a toy car?
All other factors being equal, a heavier toy car will move slower than a lighter toy because of it's weight.
Can a car stop faster then a motorcycle?
Assuming the car and the bike are both traveling at the same speed and both have new brakes. The bike will stop faster than the car due to less momentum. Car is heavier, harder to get going fast, harder to stop fast.
