In the figure, a 6.43 g bullet is fired into a 0.507 kg block attached to the end of a 0.360 m nonuniform rod of mass 0.905 kg. The block- rod-bullet system then rotates in the plane of the figure, about a fixed axis at A. The rotational inertia of the rod alone about Ais 0.0803 kg-m2. Treat the block as a particle. (a) What then is the rotational inertia of the block-rod-bullet system about point A? (b) If the angular speed of the system about A just after impact is 8.16 rad/s, what is the bullet's speed just before impact? Rod Block Bullet (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units
