Answer to Question #82304 in Physics for zach yakich

Question

As part of an interview for a summer job with the Coast Guard, you are asked to help determine the search area for two sunken ships by calculating their velocity just after they collided. According to the last radio transmission from the 40000-ton luxury liner, the Hedonist, it was going due west at a speed of 20 knots in calm seas through a rare fog just before it was struck broadside by the 60000-ton freighter, the Ironhorse, which was traveling north at 10 knots. The transmission also knotted that when the freighter's bow pierced the hull of the liner, the two ships stuck together and sank together.
