A bowling ball has a weight of 16 pounds. It is traveling at a speed of 8.42 m/s when it strikes a bowling pin with a weight of 30 ounces. Assuming the collision between the bowling ball and the pin is elastic and the direction of the pin after the collision is the same as the initial direction of the bowling ball, compute the velocity of the bowling pin after the collision?
