an object of mass m is rotating about a fixed axis with angular momentum l. its moment of inertia about this axis is i. what is its kinetic energy?



Answer :

The Kinetic energy would be 1/2IL².

What is Rotational Kinetic energy ?

  • Rotational energy also known as angular kinetic energy is defined as: The kinetic energy due to the rotation of an object and is part of its total kinetic energy. Rotational kinetic energy is directly proportional to the rotational inertia and the square of the magnitude of the angular velocity.

As we know linear Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

 where m= mass and v= velocity.

Similarly rotational kinetic energy is given by = 1/2IL²

 where I- moment of inertia and L=angular momentum.
