Physics 210 Quiz 3 Dr. Kotowich
Directions: Complete the problem below. All work must be shown. Late submissions will not be accepted. If units are missing the answer is incorrect. No work means no credit. Good luck.
A bullet of mass m moving with velocity v strikes and becomes embedded at the edge of a cylinder of mass M, radius and moment of inertia . The cylinder, initially at rest, begins to rotate about its symmetry axis, which remains fixed in position. Assuming no frictional torque, what is the angular velocity of the cylinder after this collision? Is the kinetic energy conserved? If the kinetic energy is not conserved show the difference in kinetic energy for the system.
