A 3000-kg truck moving with a velocity of 10 m/s hits a 1000-kg parked car. The impact causes the 1000-kg car to be set in motion at 15 m/s.

Question

Assuming that momentum is conserved during the collision, determine the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision.

Answer 1

3000*10 = 3000v + 1000*15

Answer 2

5 m/s
