There are a few reasons cars may have more then one battery. Cars with big stereos sometimes run a second battery along with large capacitors to be able to supply the stereo with power.

4WD's sometimes have a second battery if they are running a 24 Volt system.

Or maybe a second battery may be used in a campervan for example to power devices like lights and tosters without draining the main battery ensuring you can start the engine.

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.
