A 2 meter tall stick is standing up, balanced on it's end. The stick then loses its balance, and starts to tip over, but the bottom of the stick doesn't slide. How fast will the top of the stick be moving, right before it hits the ground (i.e., what is the linear velocity, , of the end of the stick)? Hint: Recall that the moment of inertia of a stick, rotating about the end, is I ML2
