Physics

To solve this, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum. Since the toy truck and toy car collide and stick together, the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

Given:

Mass of the toy truck

Velocity of the toy truck East (positive direction)

Mass of the toy car

Velocity of the toy car West (negative direction)

Formula:

The formula for momentum conservation is:

Substitute the known values:
