Question
A bullet of mass m moving at horizontal velocity v strikes and sticks to the rim of
a wheel (a solid disc) of mass M, radius R, fixed at its center, initially at rest, but
free to rotate. Which of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum is
conserved for the bullet + wheel system?
All three of them are conserved.
Linear momentum is conserved but energy and angular momentum is not conserved.
None of them are conserved.
Angular momentum is conserved but energy and linear momentum are not conserved.
Energy is not conserved but linear and angular momentum are conserved.
