    M1U1 + M2V2 = (M1+M2) V, where M1 is the mass of the moving car, M2 is the mass of the stationary car, U1 is the initial velocity, and V is the common velocity after collision.

    therefore;

    (1060 * 16) + (1830 * 0) = (1060 + 1830) V

    16960 = 2890 V

    V = 5.869 m/s

    The velocity of the cars after collision will be 5.689 m/s
