Rapidly Spinning

DoNow: A 1.0 m rod is resting horizontally with a pivot axis on one end. Gravity causes the rod to pivot. Determine the angular acceleration and then the linear acceleration at the end of the rod. (notes)

AIM: I can describe how ladder problems and see-saw problems are similar and different. I can identify the equation for angular momentum and conservation of angular momentum.
