Thank you all for taking the time to help me out. Here's what I'm given:
A solid door of mass M = 19 kg and width = 128 cm is hit at a right angle by a mud ball of mass m = 0.6 kg, which, as Fig. 10–44 shows, hits the door at the edge with speed v = 16 m/s and sticks.
Figure 10-44
(a) What is the rotational inertia of the door about the hinges?
10.377 kg·m2
(b) What is the angular velocity of the door after having been struck?
________ rad/s
(c) What fraction of the initial energy does the moving door–mud ball system retain?
_______
p=mv
I= 1/3mr^2
L=mvr
-Part A was simply 1/3mr^2
-Part B confuses me because I have to somehow make a linear momentum into a rotational momentum, while not forgetting the moments of inertia. Someone please shed some insight to this simple problem.
-Part C = I need part B :/
