Question: A 2 2 0 0 - kg auto moving northward at 1 2 . 0 m / s runs into a 3 8 0 0

A 2200-kg auto moving northward at 12.0 m/s runs into a 3800-kg truck which is also moving northward, but at 5.00 m/s. If the vehicles lock bumpers, how fast are they moving just after the collision?
hint: Its a hit and stick situation but the velocities have the same sign before collision. After the move with the same velocity (m1+m2)V'= momentum after
1.
