Rod collisions involve linear and angular momentum plus energy. Attendees learn how impulses alter motion and rotation, and how pivots impose constraints. Moment of inertia is crucial: free rods spin around their midpoint, while pivoted rods invoke the parallel axis theorem. Elastic impacts conserve kinetic energy; inelastic ones do not. Varied examples forge deep mastery of advanced mechanics. Through targeted drills, participants refine tactics, building notable prowess, ensuring IPhO success.
