Q.

A circular disc of mass m and radius R rests flat on a horizontal frictionless surface. A bullet, also of mass m and moving with a velocity v, strikes the disc and gets embedded in it. If the disc is free to rotate about a fixed axis passing through its center then the angular velocity with which the system rotates after the bullet strikes the hoop is
