Rotation

Why can we not do this while energy conservation? mgh = 1/2 mv² and the put v = rω doing mgh = 1/2 Iω² gives the right ans (15)

r is distance btw pivot and com

its energy conservation only?

Yes, only energy consv gives the ans, but with Iω²

Iω²/2 is the same as 1/2 mv2...u just put v=rω its like the rotational kinetic energy for the whole rod and the rod is only rotating and not translating about the pivo t

So 1/2 mv² isn't valid here?

You can't write kinetic energy of a rotating body only using com, it requires mass distribution too. When putting v = rw, you're ignoring mass distribution 1/2 mv² is still valid but you have to integrate

1/2 Iω² comes from integrating 1/2 mv² since an extended body has infinite particles...we just add all their 1/2 mv² where v is rω since the particles are rotating (i.e. circlular motion)....also since ω is a constant for each particle in rotation its treated as a constant when ur summing the kinetic energies.
