Identical particles are placed at the 50-cm and 80-cm marks on a meter stick of negligible mass. This rigid body is then mounted so as to rotate freely about a pivot at the 0-cm mark on the meter stick. If this body is released from rest in a horizontal position, what is the angular speed of the meter stick as it swings through its lowest position?

a. 4.2 rad/s
b. 5.4 rad/s
c. 4.6 rad/s
d. 5.0 rad/s
e. 1.7 rad/s

Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: A 5.0-N projectile leaves the ground with a kinetic energy of 220 J. At the highest point in its trajectory, its kinetic energy is 120 J. To what vertical height, relative to its launch point, did it rise if there was no air resistance?

A. 44 m B. 24 m C. 20 m D. 10 m E. It is impossible to determine the height without knowing the angle of launch.
