FRQ prompt

Physics C Mechanics Free Response:
A uniform rod of mass M and length L is pivoted at one end and held horizontally. It is released from rest.

(a) Using the rotational form of Newton's second law (τ_net = Iα), find the angular acceleration of the rod immediately after release.
(b) Find the linear acceleration of the center of mass immediately after release.
(c) Find the angular velocity of the rod when it has swung to the vertical position (hanging straight down). Use energy…
