A truck of mass 500kg moving at 4m/s collides with another truck of mass 1500kg moving in the same direction at 2m/s. What is their common velocity just after the collision if they move off together? PLZ HELP ASAP

m1u1+m2u2=(m1+m2)v.

500×4+1500×2=(500+1500)V.

2000+3000=2000V.

5000=2000V.

V=2.5m/s

i would think form in reponse to tensional forces

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
