A gate door is 1.5-m wide and has a mass of 10 kg. The gate is initially at rest. The gate rotates on its hinges. A piece of clay with a mass of 2.5 kg traveling to the right hits the gate at a point 1.2 m from the hinges and sticks to the gate. The initial velocity of the clay is 20 m/sec. a) What is the angular velocity of the gate in rad/sec after the clay sticks to the gate? b) How much heat is generated in the collision?
