There are four laws of thermodynamics.
Zeroeth Law of Thermodynamics: Two systems in thermal equilibrium with a third system are in thermal equilibrium to each other.
First Law of Thermodynamics: The change in a system's internal energy is equal to the difference between heat added to the system from its surroundings and work done by the system on its surroundings.
Second Law of Thermodynamics: It is impossible for a process to have as its sole result the transfer of heat from a cooler body to a hotter one.
Third Law of Thermodynamics: The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is exactly equal to zero.
The electrons float around in an outer sub shell
Answer:
5.4 ms⁻¹
Explanation:
Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.
= length of the meter stick = 1 m
= mass of the meter stick
= angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor
= speed of the other end of the stick
we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

= height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = 
= Moment of inertia of the stick about one end
For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

Using conservation of energy
Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy
