Hinged Stick and Ball

Description
A ball positioned at the end of a hinged stick falls into a cup as the stick pivots and drops. As the stick rotates around the hinge, the ball experiences both linear and rotational acceleration, causing it to fall faster than it would under gravity alone. This setup demonstrates the interaction between rotational and translational motion and the effects of rotational inertia on falling objects.
