A rod of mass M = 2.95 kg and length L can rotate about a hinge at its left end and is initially at rest. A putty ball of mass m = 45 g, moving with speed v = 4.23 m/s, strikes the rod at angle θ = 46° from the normal at a distance D = 2/3 L, where L = 0.95 m, from the point of rotation and sticks to the rod after the collision. Required:
What is the angular speed ωf of the system immediately after the collision, in terms of system parameters and I?

Explanation:

angular momentum of the putty about the point of rotation

= mvR   where m is mass , v is velocity of the putty and R is perpendicular distance between line of velocity and point of rotation .

= .045 x 4.23 x 2/3 x .95 cos46

= .0837 units

moment of inertia of rod = ml² / 3 , m is mass of rod and l is length

= 2.95 x .95² / 3

I₁ = .8874 units

moment of inertia of rod + putty

I₁ + mr²

m is mass of putty and r is distance where it sticks

I₂  = .8874 + .045 x (2 x .95 / 3)²

I₂ = .905

Applying conservation of angular momentum

angular momentum of putty = final angular momentum of rod+ putty

.0837 = .905 ω

ω is final angular velocity of rod + putty

ω = .092 rad /s .
