A 6.75-kg bowling ball moving at 9.1 m/s collides with a 0.95-kg bowling pin, which is scattered at an angle of θ = 21.5° from the initial direction of the bowling ball, with a speed of 10.1 m/s. Part (a)  Calculate the direction, in degrees, of the final velocity of the bowling ball. This angle should be measured in the same way that θ is.   Part (b)  Calculate the magnitude of the final velocity, in meters per second, of the bowling ball.

Question

A 6.75-kg bowling ball moving at 9.1 m/s collides with a 0.95-kg bowling pin, which is scattered at an angle of θ = 21.5° from the initial direction of the bowling ball, with a speed of 10.1 m/s.

Part (a)  Calculate the direction, in degrees, of the final velocity of the bowling ball. This angle should be measured in the same way that θ is. 

 Part (b)  Calculate the magnitude of the final velocity, in meters per second, of the bowling ball.
