Velocity is a vector quantity(it has a direction). Simply use the vector adding method to combine velocities.

How can you calculate the resulant velcity of two velocities in the same direction?
By adding the two velocities.
How are velocities in the same direction combined?
As the velocities are in the same direction then addition of vectors becomes so easy. We simply add the magnitudes of the velocities. If velocities go exactly opposite, then we get the difference of their magnitudes. If velocity vectors get inclined, then we use the parallelogram law of vectors to get the resultant.
What is a resultant velosity?
A resultant velocity is the vector sum of two or more velocities (remember that a velocity has both speed and direction).
How does the speed of the combined cars compare to the speed of the car before the collision when a parked car is hit by a moving car and the two cars stick together?
The combined VELOCITY of two cars that crash will be somewhere between that of the individual cars. In this case, the combined speed will be less than the speed of the car that was moving before the crash.If you know the velocities and the masses, the exact speeds can be calculated using conservation of momentum.
What are most velocities measured relative to?

Is there more force created when 2 objects meet in motion or when 1 object is still?
When two objects meet in motion, there is generally more force created compared to when one object is still. This is because when both objects are in motion, they have momentum which adds to the force of the collision. When one object is still, there is only the force of the moving object acting upon the still object.
What is the example of a condition when the resultant of two velocities is zero?
Only if the two velocities are equal in magnitude but in opposite directions.
What element is two or more elements or compounds phisically combined?
If there are two or more elements or compounds physically combined, then it can no longer be an element.
What are two or more elements combined?
compound
What are two or more substance combined?
properties
What keeps the planets in orbit about the sun?
The Sun has a powerful gravitational pull. This, combined with the velocities of the planets, keeps the planets in orbit.
What are combined elements?
It refers to any two or more elements which have been combined naturally.
What are two or more substances that are together but not combined?
two or more subsantes (a mixture of substances) !
What are two ways that mixtures differ from compuonds?
Compounds are two or more elements combined on a set ratio, and mixtures are not chemically combined, they are two or more substances mixed together
What is a resultant velosity?
A resultant velocity is the vector sum of two or more velocities (remember that a velocity has both speed and direction).
