    Answer:

    Car B has a mass of 800 kg.

    General Formulas and Concepts:

    Momentum

    Law of Conservation of Momentum: \displaystyle m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v_{f}

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Define

    Identify variables

    [Given] m₁ = 1200 kg

    [Given] v₁i = 10 m/s

    [Solve] m₂

    [Given] v₂i = 0 m/s

    [Given] vf = 6 m/s

    Step 2: Solve for m₂

    1. Substitute in variables [Law of Conservation of Momentum]:                       (1200 kg)(10 m/s) + m₂(0 m/s) = (1200 kg + m₂)(6 m/s)
    2. Multiply:                                                                                                             12000 kg · m/s = (1200 kg + m₂)(6 m/s)
    3. Isolate m₂ term:                                                                                                2000 kg = 1200 kg + m₂
    4. Isolate m₂:                                                                                                         800 kg = m₂
