On a frictionless table, a glob of clay of mass 0.54 kg strikes a bar of mass 1.24 kg perpendicularly at a point 0.27 m from the center of the bar and sticks to it.
1. If the bar is 1.02 m long and the clay is moving at 6.3 m/s before striking the bar, what is the final speed of the center of mass?
That part I know - 1.911 m/s
2. At what angular speed does the bar/clay system rotate about its center of mass after the impact?
can you help me with that one?..
