- A rod with a mass of 5 kg and a length of 9 meters is at rest in space with its long side pointing in the y direction. Two 12 kg masses of clay hit the rod at the same time and with the same speed of 18 m/s. One was traveling in the x direction before hitting and sticking to the top of the rod, and the other was traveling in the -x direction before hitting and sticking to the bottom of the rod. What will the magnitude of the angular velocity of the rod be in radians per second?arrow_forwardA 100-g bat collides with a stationary 1.2 kg teddy bear. Immediately after the collision, the bat is traveling at an angle of 55 degrees from its original path. The bear is traveling in a direction 35 degrees from the original path of the bat.
