Question:

A meter stick with a mass of 0.180 kg is pivoted about one end so it can rotate without friction about a horizontal axis. The meter stick is held in a horizontal position and released. As it swings through the vertical, calculate

(a) The change in gravitational potential energy that has occurred;

(b) The angular speed of the stick;

(c) The linear speed of the end of the stick opposite the axis. 

(d) Compare the answer in part (c) to the speed of a particle that has fallen 1.00 m, starting from rest.
