Problem
A uniform meter stick slides without rotating across a frictionless table. It collides with a small, fixed peg located at the 25cm mark, causing the stick to start spinning. Identify the single point you would choose as the axis for applying angular momentum conservation during the instant of the collision, and justify your choice in one sentence.
