Answer:
6 m/s
Explanation:
mass of moving car m1=5000 kg
initial velocity of moving car vi1=?
mass of car at rest = m2=10000 kg
initial velocity of car at rest = vi2=0
final velcoities of both cars after collision = vf1=vf2= 2m/s
using conservation of momentum rule
m1vi1+m2vi2=m1vf1+m2vf2
putting values
==> 5000 × vi1 + 1000 × 0 = 5000 × 2 + 10000 × 2
==> 5000 ×vi1 = 2 × 15000
==> vi1 = 2 × 15000 ÷ 5000
==> vi1= 2×3=6 m/s
I think it's mass...
The mass of an object refers to the amount of matter that is contained by the object; the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting upon that object. Mass is related to how much stuff is there and weight is related to the pull of the Earth (or any other planet) upon that stuff.
The kinetic energy of an object is given by

where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity.
For the car in the problem,

and

, so the kinetic energy of the car is

and as we can see, yes, the answer depends on the car's mass.
