Homework Statement
A bar, whose mass is 10kg, is 3 cm long and is free to rotate about a vertical axle through its centre.
At the beginning, the bar is vertically quiet. Then, the two extremities are hit at the same time by two bullets, one by the left and the other by the right. Their masses are 5 kg each and their velocity is 62.8 m/s.
In the inelastic collision, the bullets become ... (I don't know the exact word for "loyal", "several", "they are moving exactly like the bar", "they are embedded into the bar") each respectly to an extremity.
2. What I need:
I'd like to know the revolutions frequency of the bar after the collision.
3. Attempts to the solution
My result is 500 revolutions per second. I have some doubts, so I ask you for a confirm.
Thank you very very much
Sorry for my bad english and for my horrible diagram
