Two trucks that appear to be identical collide on an icy road. one was originally at rest. the trucks are stuck together and move at more than half the original speed of the moving truck. what can you conclude about the contents of the two trucks?

The type of collision in which the object stick with one another is a perfectly inelastic one. For inelastic collisions, the momentum is preserved such that,

   M1 = M2

Momentum is the product of the objects mass and velocity. In this item, we are given that the after sticking with one another, the trucks moved at a speed half of the speed of the originally moving one. Hence, the trucks must have the same load which is equal to saying that they have equal masses. 

3x + 2x = both people using the same measure of like 5x = x= 25 meters per second. 25ms. it takes them 4 seconds to
