The figure shows the view looking down onto an air hockey table. A puck collides with a stationary bar. The collision is completely inelastic. The bar has mass M = 1.55 kilograms and length L = 1.14 meters. The puck has mass m = 0.455 kilograms and is initially moving at vi = 7.27 perpendicular to the bar. The puck collides with the bar at a location of b = 0.485 meters from the center of the bar. Note that the size of the puck is negligible compared to the length of the bar. Calculate the angular speed (rad/s) about the center of mass of the puck-and-bar system just after the collision.

Question

The figure shows the view looking down onto an air hockey table. A puck collides with a stationary bar. The collision is completely inelastic.

The bar has mass M = 1.55 kilograms and length L = 1.14 meters. The puck has mass m = 0.455 kilograms and is initially moving at vi = 7.27 perpendicular to the bar. The puck collides with the bar at a location of b = 0.485 meters from the center of the bar. Note that the size of the puck is negligible compared to the length of the bar.

Calculate the angular speed (rad/s) about the center of mass of the puck-and-bar system just after the collision.
