A-Level Physics - Year 1 (AS): After the collision, the car and truck move together with velocity V. Momentum after = (500 + 1500) × V = 2000. Solve for V: V = 2000 ÷ 2000 = 1 m/s.

Question

After the collision, the car and truck move together with velocity V.  Momentum after = (500 + 1500) × V = 2000.  Solve for V:  V = 2000 ÷ 2000 = 1 m/s.
