    Solution for the problem is:

    Total momentum before collision is always equal to total momentum after collision. So note that:

    Momentum of car A = 5000 x Xm/s

    Momentum of car A + B = 15,000 x 2m/s

    So combining the two, will give us the equation:

    15,000/5,000 = 3

    3 x 2 = 6m/s
