A bullet of mass m = 2.0 g is moving horizontally with a speed of 500.0 m/s. The bullet strikes and becomes embedded in the edge of a solid disk of mass M = 3.2 kg and radius R = 0.5 m. The cylinder is free to rotate around its axis and is initially at rest as shown in figure-1 (a) What is the moment of inertia of the system when the bullet is embedded in the disk? (b) What is the angular velocity of the disk immediately after the bullet is embedded? (c) Calculate the average angular acceleration of the disk if the average force applied by the bullet on the disk is 250 N, tangential to the circumference.
