Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a truck = 15,000 kg
Speed of the truck = 25 m/s
Mass of car = 1,100 kg
Speed of the car = 15 m/s
As they stick together after the collision. Let V be the speed after the collision.
Initial momentum of the system,
Final momentum of the system,
Hence, this is the required solution.
