Shown below is a small particle of mass 33 g that is moving at a speed of 10 m/s when it collides with and sticks to the edge of a uniform solid cylinder. The cylinder is free to rotate about the axis through its center and perpendicular to the page. The cylinder has a mass of 0.4 kg and a radius of 16 cm and is initially at rest.
A) What is the angular velocity (in rad/s) of the system after the collision?
B) How much kinetic energy (in J) is lost in the collision?
