Question

A uniform 4.50 kg square solid wooden gate 1.50 m on each side hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at its upper edge. A 1.20 kg raven flying horizontally at 4.50 m/s flies into this door at its center and bounces back at 1.50 m/s in the opposite direction. Part A What is the angular speed of the gate just after it is struck by the unfortunate raven

Answer 1

A. 1.17

B.

the angular momentum is conserved because there is n o external force doing torque on the pivot

Linear momentum is not conserved because this is not an example of elastic collision where the final and initial kinetic energies are the same

Explanation:

A.

1.17 rad/s

B.

the angular momentum is conserved because there is n o external force doing torque on the pivot

Linear momentum is not conserved because this is not an example of elastic collision where the final and initial kinetic energies are the same
