My Friends and I are stumped on the following question, we need to solve the following problem with only the information required. any help would be greatly apreciated.
1. A bowling ball has a mass of 8kg and arrives at the pins at 6m/s. all of the kinetic energy is transfered to the ten pins (each weighing 0.5 kg) which go flying. assuming the collision is perfectly elastic and that all of the pins move at the same velocity after being struck. how fast do the pins end up moving if the ball is slowed to 1m/s after collision?
