Problem

A 0.200 kg0.200\,\text{kg} lump of clay slides across a horizontal table at 5.00 m/s5.00\,\text{m/s} and sticks to the rim of a 1.20 kg1.20\,\text{kg} solid disk of radius 0.300 m0.300\,\text{m} that is free to rotate about its fixed central axis and is initially at rest. Calculate the angular velocity of the disk–clay system immediately after the collision.
