Good day This is just a practice quiz made only by one of my classmate for our upcoming exams next week.. I hope you can help me on getting the answers for this.. short solution and explanation will do.. thank you

I PROMISE TO RATE AFTER IVE SEEN YOUR ANSWER

A 1500 kg car stopped at a traffic light is struck from the rear by a 700-kg car,
and they become entangled, moving along the same path as that of the originally
moving car. If the smaller car were moving at 15.0 m/s before the collision. (c.)
Suppose we reverse the masses of the cars-a stationary 700-kg car is struck by
a moving 1500 kg car. What is the final speed?
1.25 m/s
4.77 m/s
10.23 m/s
6.67 m/s
