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.
