In Figure 11.95 two small objects each of mass m1 are connected by a lightweight rod of length L. At a particular instant the

center of mass speed is v1 as shown, and the object is rotating counterclockwise with angular speed ω1. A small object of

mass m2 traveling with speed v2 collides with the rod at an angle θ2 as shown, at a distance b from the center of the rod.

After being struck, the mass m2 is observed to move with speed v4, at angle θ4. All the quantities are positive magnitudes.

This all takes place in outer space.
