A uniform stick, mass m and length l, is placed in a horizontal plane by hanging it from a massless string attached to the center. A ball of mass M moving with speed V in the plane of the stick. The ball strikes the stick at a distance d from the center. the collision is elastic. Find the resulting translational and rotational speeds of the stick and the resulting speed of the ball. show that the relative speed of the ball and the point of contact on the stick is the same before and immediately after the collision.
