2. Collisions and Angular Momentum Example. Consider a ball of clay with a mass of 1.5 kg thrown at a thin vertical rod of mass 6 kg and length 1 m. with its axis at the top end. The clay strikes the bottom of the rod with a speed of 4 m/s and sticks to the bar, causing the bar to rotate. Assuming no other forces are acting on the system, do the following: a) Find angular speed of the rod and ball after the collision. b) State the angular momentum of each body in the system before and after the collision. Is angular momentum conserved? c) Find the kinetic energy of the system before and after the collision. Is mechanical energy conserved?

Conservation of Angular Momentum An example of conservation of angular momentum is jumping on a Merry-Go-Round. Watch this video (it starts part way through but the only thing you miss is the people pushing the Merry-Go-Round) to see someone jumping on a Merry-Gr-Round in motion like this problem. You can model the Merry-Go-Round as a solid disk with a radius of 3.00 m and a mass of 75.5 kg. Initially the Merry-Go-Round has an angular velocity 7.90 radians / second. Then the person jumps on and change the Moment of Inertia of the system. The person lands on the outer edge of the Merry-Go-Round and has a mass of 60.0 kg. What is the final angular velocity of the system after the person jumps on? You can treat the person that jumps on a point mass (which means they are significantly smaller than the radius of the Merry-Go-Round) for this problem.
