Rotation FUN

DoNow: Two equivalent rods, mass M, length L are raised similarly, so the ends of both are located on a horizontal surface and the other suspend so there is a 45 degree angle formed with the rod and the horizontal. One rod has a pivot on the table and the other is able to move freely without friction. What's going to happen when the support is removed? Which rod hits the horizontal first? (notes)

AIM: I can identify vocabulary, variables and equations that are specific to rotational kinematics and energy and how rotational, translational and potential energy transform in a non-slipping rotational system.
