Question: A thin rod with mass m and length L hangs from a frictionless axle through one end. A small ball with mass m is thrown

A thin rod with mass m and length L hangs from a frictionless axle through one end. A small ball with mass m is thrown at the bottom of the rod so that it hits the end of the rod with speed v at an angle of below the horizontal as shown below. If the ball sticks to the rod and they swing up to horizontal, how fast is v?
