1. A rod of mass M and length L rests on a frictionless table
and is struck at a point L/4 from its center of mass by a clay ball
of mass M moving at speed . The ball
sticks to the rod.
A. Determine the center of mass of the system after the
collision.
B. Determine the angular velocity of the rod after the
collision. (The rod and the clay ball have the same mass M)

2. We have three objects, a solid disk, a ring, and a solid
sphere. If we release them from rest at the top of an incline,
which object will win the race? Assume the objects roll down the
ramp without slipping. Prove this mathematically.
