Answer:

8 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object solely due to its motion.

You can get the K.E. of an object using the equation,

K.E. =  (1/2)mv²

So you get, for lorry,

K.E. = (1/2)4000×4² -----------(1)

for car,

K.E. = (1/2)1000×v²---------------(2)

(1)=(2)

(1/2)4000×4² =  (1/2)1000×v²

y these two equations, we get, v = 8 ms⁻¹
