Example: The figure below shows
the top view of a bowling ball, B, striking the head pin, P,
at
an angle θ. The initial speed
of the bowling ball is, vo.
The mass of the bowling ball is
M
and the mass of the head pin is m.
The coefficient of restitution is e.
The following
data
applies: M = 0.5 slugs, m = 0.025 slugs, vo =
5 fps, θ = 30o, e =
0.7. Find the velocity
of
the bowling ball and the head pin immediately after impact.
