Question
The figure shows the view looking down onto an air hockey table. A puck collides with a stationary bar. The collision is completely inelastic.
The bar has mass M = 1.44 kilograms and length L = 1.14 meters. The puck has mass m = 0.488 kilograms and is initially moving at vi = 6.83 perpendicular to the bar. The puck collides with the bar at a location of b = 0.505 meters from the center of the bar. Note that the size of the puck is negligible compared to the length of the bar.
vf = 1.729.
Calculate the angular speed (rad/s) about the center of mass of the puck-and-bar system just after the collision.

Transcribed Image Text:The diagram illustrates a physical scenario involving a small object and a larger vertical surface. Here's a detailed explanation:
- On the left side, there is a small circle labeled with mass "m" representing a particle or small object.
- The particle has an initial velocity indicated by the arrow and labeled as "vᵢ".
- Below the arrow, there's a dashed horizontal line, with a vertical arrow pointing downward, labeled with "b". This represents a vertical distance from the dashed line to the path of the particle.
- On the right side, there is a large vertical rectangle or thick line labeled "M", which could represent a wall or barrier of mass "M".
- The wall has a vertical height "L", as indicated by a line with double arrows on the side.
This diagram is likely used in a physics context, possibly to illustrate concepts related to motion, collision, or projectile dynamics.
