For a movie stunt, an empty truck with a mass of 2000 kg goes 10 m/s and runs into a stopped car of mass 1000 kg. the truck then keeps moving and pushes the car along with it. if there are no other forces acting on this system, describe the results of the collision?

    First, we assume that the momentum before and after the collision should be conserved in order to answer this question. The mathematical equation that best represent this scenario is,

    (2000 kg) (10 m/s) = (2000 kg + 1000 kg) (x m/s)

    The value of x from the equation is approximately 6.67 m/s.
