According to the given statement Final velocity when they stick together is 8.735i^ + 11.25j^
<h3>What is collision and momentum?</h3>
The unit of momentum is kg ms -1. Momentum is a vector parameter that is influenced by the object's direction. During collisions involving objects, momentum is a relevant concept. The final velocity before a collision between two objects equals the total motion after the impact (in the absence of external forces).
<h3>Briefing:</h3>
From conservation of momentum
Initial momentum = final momentum
m u +M U =(m+M) V
2000×25 i^ +1500×30 j^ =(2000+1500) V
V = 8.735i^ + 11.25j^
Final velocity when they stick together is 8.735i^ + 11.25j^

The complete question is -
A 2000 kg truck is moving eastward at 25 m/s. it collides inelastically with a 1500 kg truck traveling southward at 30 m/s. they collide at the intersection. Find the direction and magnitude of velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming the vehicles stick together after the collision.
