- The figure shows a small piece of clay colliding into a disk. The disk is initially at rest, but can rotate about a pivot fixed at its center. The collision is completely inelastic.The disk has mass M = 4.73 kilograms and radius R = 0.755 meters. The clay has mass m = 279 grams and is moving horizontally at vi = 3.66 m/s just before colliding with and sticking to the disk. The clay strikes the edge of the disk at a location of b = 0.505 meters offset from the center of the disk. Note that the size of the clay is negligible compared to the radius of the disk.
