Professional Application A 5.50-kg bowling ball moving at 9.00 m/s collides with a 0.850-kg bowling pin, which is scattered at an angle of \(85.0^\circ\) to the initial direction of the bowling ball and with a speed of 15.0 m/s. (a) Calculate the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the bowling ball. (b) Is the collision elastic? (c) Linear kinetic energy is greater after the collision. Discuss how spin on the ball might be converted to linear kinetic energy in the collision.

QUESTION:
Professional Application A 5.50-kg bowling ball moving at 9.00 m/s collides with a 0.850-kg bowling pin, which is scattered at an angle of \(85.0^\circ\) to the initial direction of the bowling ball and with a speed of 15.0 m/s. (a) Calculate the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the bowling ball. (b) Is the collision elastic? (c) Linear kinetic energy is greater after the collision. Discuss how spin on the ball might be converted to linear kinetic energy in the collision.
ANSWER:Step-by-step solution In this problem we have to calculate the final velocity of the bowling ball ,the collision is elastic or not and kinetic energy after the collision and also explain how spin on the ball might be converted to linear kinetic energy in the collision. Step 1 of 8 The momentum is conserved in collision, therefore use conservation of momentum.
