Answer

$2.84rad/s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the final angular speed as follows: $\omega_f=\frac{\frac{1}{2}Mr^2\omega_i+mvr}{\frac{1}{2}Mr^2+mr^2}$ This simplifies to: $\omega_f=\frac{Mr\omega_i+2mv}{Mr+2mr}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\omega_f=\frac{(155)(2.63)(4.03)+2(59.4)(3.41)}{(155)(2.63)+2(59.4)(2.63)}$ $\omega_f=2.84rad/s$
