If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:
Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.
Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v
Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v
Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s
Explanation:
tilting it will raise the height of its center of gravity.

There are two forces at play:
- The gravitational force acting downward due to the mass of the bucket and the water that it contains.
- The upward force that your hand exerts on the bucket.
If the magnitude of the force your hand exerts on the bucket equals the magnitude of the gravitational force, the bucket is in static equilibrium. That means the bucket is not moving and the forces acting on it balance each other out, making the net force 0.
Having 0 net force means the bucket doesn't undergo any acceleration, or change in motion.
The answer is D, the amount of energy stays the same.
