- Homework Statement
- Consider the picture attached. Suppose that the bullet has a mass ##m_0## and initial velocity ##v_0##, and suppose that the masses has mass ##m##. The length of the string is ##2b## and ##\theta=90°##
What's the final velocity and angular velocity
- Relevant Equations
- ##P=ccte##
As ##P=ccte## we can find final velocity considering a plastic collision
##m_0 . v_0 =(2m+m_0).V##
But what about the angular velocity? Because, as the bullet hits the centre of mass of the string, it won't have angular velocity
##m_0 . v_0 =(2m+m_0).V##
But what about the angular velocity? Because, as the bullet hits the centre of mass of the string, it won't have angular velocity
