A bowling ball with mass of 1 kg travelling at 0.75 m/s hits a 0.5 kg bowling pin, initially at rest. The bowling pin moves off with a speed of 0.25 m/s at an angle of 35º relative to the initial direction of the bowling ball. What is the final velocity of the bowling ball? (note: you cannot assume kinetic energy is conserved).
