An object (A) of mass m A = 30.0 kg is moving in a direction that makes angle of 44° south of west with a speed VA = 5.15 m/s, while object (B) of mass mB = 16.0 kg is moving due north with a speed vB = 8.00 m/s. The two objects collide and stick together in a completely inelastic collision. Find the magnitude of the final velocity of the two-object system after the collision.
