...and I believe the clay and the rod will rotate with the new center of mass? So the I for clay should be the distance between the clay and the new CM? Thank you. And have a good dream lol

Thanks for your reply. So just to be sure, is the correct formula should be m(1/4 l)v=Iw where I equal to 1/12 ML^2 + [(m 1/4 l)/(M+m)-1/4 l]^2 m? thank you.

Homework Statement A thin rod of mass M and length L rests on a frictionless table and is struck L/4 from its CM by a clay ball of mass m moving at speed v. The ball sticks to the rod. Determine the translational and rotational motionHomework Equations Irod=1/12 mr^2 Irod=1/3 mr^2 L=mrv=Iw...
