Answer:
200 km/hr
Explanation:
Since he goes 80km per hour, multiply this by 2.5 or two and a half hours.
80 x 2.5 = 200 km/hr.
Let the mass of 2500 kg car be
and it's velocity be
and the mass of 1500 kg car be
and it's velocity be
.
After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.
By law of conservation of momentum we have

2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V
V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s
So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s
By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:

Where,
W: is the load
T: is the tension
Substituting the values in the given equation we have:

Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
Answer: The mechanical advantage of this machine is: MA = 5
