Question Details:
The figure below is of an overhead view of a thin uniform rod of length 0.780 m and mass M rotating horizontally at angular speed 21.5 rad/s about an axis through its center. A particle of mass M/3.00 attached to one end is ejected from the rod and travels along a path that is perpendicular to the rod at the instant of ejection. If the particle's speed vp is 6.00 m/s greater than the speed of the end of the rod just after ejection, what is the value of vp?
1Your answer is incorrect. m/s
