A block of mass m moves with initial speed v0 on a smooth floor. A homogeneous rod of mass Big M and length Big L hangs freely from the ceiling and is initially at rest. The bar Big M is hit by the block m. Just a moment after the impact, the rod swings and the block comes to rest. <br />a. Check whether the case above is an elastic or inelastic collision?<br />b. Determine the maximum height to which a homogeneous rod swings?<br /><br /><br />#Collision #Momentum #PhysicsOlympiad
