On July 25, 1956, the linear Andrea Doria, of mass 4.1x10^7 kg, was heading west at 40 km/hr. it collided off Nantucket Island with the Stockholm, of mass 1.7x10^7 kg, sailing 30 km/hr in the direction 20 degrees east of north. the bow of the Stockholm temporarily lodged in the side of the Andrea Doria; that is, the collision was perfectly inelastic.
a) find their common velocity (speed and direction) just after collision
b) what was the loss in kinematic energy due to the collision?
