10 m/s
Initial momentum of car 1 = 0.Initial momentum of car 2 = 2000 x 20 kg m/s = 40 000 kg m/s
Total = 40 000 kg m/s .
Momentum is conserved, so the total at the end is also 40 000 kg m/s .
Law of Conservation of Momentum: The total momentum after the collision is equal to the total momentum before the collission.
40,000 kg-m/s
The momentum was 7,500 kg-m/s.

Assuming the impact was elastic, Car1 will not be at rest, and Car2 will move at 20m/s at the same direction Car1 was previously moving.
Their combined momentum was 40,000 kg-m/s: 2000kg X 20 m/s= 40000 kg-m/s.
