Question:

Two African swallows fly toward one another, carrying coconuts. The first swallow is flying north horizontally with a speed of 20 m/s. The second swallow is flying at the same height as the first and in the opposite direction with a speed of 15 m/s. The mass of the first swallow is 0.270 kg and the mass of his coconut is 0.80 kg. The second swallow's mass is 0.220 kg and her coconut's mass is 0.70 kg. The swallows collide and lose their coconuts. Immediately after the collision, the 0.80-kg coconut travels 10° west of south with a speed of 13 m/s, and the 0.70-kg coconut moves 30° east of north with a speed of 14 m/s. The two birds are tangled up with one another and stop flapping their wings as they travel off together. What is the velocity of the birds immediately after the collision?
