The figure shows an overhead view of a 1.40 kg plastic rod of length 1.20 m on a table. One end of the rod is attached to the table, and the rod is free to pivot about this point without friction. A disk of mass 38.0 g slides toward the opposite end of the rod with an initial velocity of 35.5 m/s. The disk strikes the rod and sticks to it. After the collision, the rod rotates about the pivot point.
A thin vertical rod has a point labeled pivot at its bottom, and a disk moving horizontally along an arrow labeled vector v that will reach the rod perpendicularly at the top.

(a) What is the angular velocity, in rad/s, of the two after the collision?
