What is rotational kinetic energy (particle)?

Energy of an object associated with its rotational motion

2
New cards

What is rotational kinetic energy (extended object)?

For a rigid object, each particle has the same angular velocity

The tangential speeds of these particles will differ based on their radii

Equals the sum of the rotational kinetic energies for its constituent particles

What is the moment of inertia?

A measure of the rotational inertia of an object
