Answer:

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v

where

m1 = mass of the car = 1000 kg

m2 = mass of the lorry = 9000 kg

u1 = initial velocity of the car = 30 m/s

u2 = initial velocity of the lorry = 0 m/s

v = velocity of the car and lorry combined together, after collision.

v = (m1u1 + m2u2 )/(m1 + m2)

= (1000 x 30 + 9000 x 0)/(1000 + 9000)

= 30,000/10,000

= 3 m/s.
