Chapter 4, Problem 4.8OQ
A girl, moving at 8 m/s on in-line skates, is overtaking a boy moving at 5 m/s as they both skate on a straight path.

A thin metal rod of mass 1.8 kg and length 0.9 m is at rest in outer space, near a space station (see figure below). A tiny meteorite with mass 0.08 kg traveling at a high speed of 210 m/s strikes the rod a distance 0.2 m from the center and bounces off with speed 60 m/s as shown in the diagram. The magnitudes of the initial and final angles to the x axis of the small mass's velocity are θi= 26° and θf= 82°.
Afterward, what is the velocity of the center of the rod? (Express your answer in vector form.)
Afterward, what is the angular velocity ω→ of the rod? (Express your answer in vector form.)
