A 2.2 kg disk traveling at 2.9 m/s strikes a 1.3 kg stick of length 4.0 m that is lying flat on nearly frictionless ice as shown in the overhead view of figure (a). The disk strikes the stick at a distance r = 0.90 m from the stick's center. Assume the collision is elastic and the disk does not deviate from its original line of motion. Find the translational speed of the disk, the translational speed of the stick, and the angular speed of the stick after the collision. The moment of inertia of the stick about its center of mass is 1.73 kg · m2. Overhead view of a disk striking a stick in an elastic collision. (a) Before the collision, the disk moves toward the stick. (b) The collision causes the stick to rotate and move to the right.
