L = length of the meter stick = 1 m

h = height of center of mass of stick from bottom end on the floor = L/2 = 1/2 = 0.5 m

m = mass of the meter stick

I = moment of inertia of the meter stick about the bottom end

w = angular velocity as it hits the floor

moment of inertia of the meter stick about the bottom end is given as

I = m L²/3

using conservation of energy

rotational kinetic energy of meter stick as it hits the floor = potential energy when it is vertical

(0.5) I w² = m g h

(0.5) (m L²/3) w² = m g h

( L²) w² =  6g h

( 1²) w² =  6 (9.8) (0.5)

w = 5.4 rad/s

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

To calculate adjacent of triangle use

\cos(32)  =  \frac{a}{45}

where 45 is the hypotenuse, and a is the adjacent side (horizontal component)

45 \cos(32)  = 38.16

then round to 38.2
