How to find the angular velocity for this question?

Click For Summary
To find the angular velocity after impact, it's important to recognize that angular momentum is conserved in a closed system. In this scenario, the initial angular velocity is zero, which complicates the conservation of angular momentum since it implies no angular momentum before the impact. After the bar hits the ground and one end is anchored, it begins to rotate, indicating that angular momentum is generated post-impact. However, momentum is not conserved in collisions with the Earth unless the Earth is included in the system. Understanding these principles is crucial for calculating the angular velocity accurately.

Homework Statement


Finding angular velocity after impact

Homework Equations


Moment of inertia x angular velocity = constant

The Attempt at a Solution


Hi, I believe that angular momentum is conserved in this case?
If that's the case, how do I use the formula to calculate angular velocity if the intial angular velocity is already 0?

If there is angular momentum after the impact but not before, then AM canot be conserved.

The bar is fallling at an angle of 60°. After it hits the ground, one end is anchored to the ground and the bar begins to rotate.

Generally, momentum is not conserved in a collision with the Earth, unless you include the Earth in your system.
