Rotational kinetic energy
Storyboard
The kinetic energy of rotation is a function of the angular velocity achieved through the application of torque over a given time while traversing a given angle.
Thus, rotational kinetic energy is proportional to the moment of inertia of the object and the square of the angular velocity.

Kinetic Energy of Rotation
Equation
In the case being studied of translational motion, the definition of energy
$ \Delta W = T \Delta\theta $ |
is applied to Newton's second law
$ T = I \alpha $ |
resulting in the expression
$ K_r =\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} I \omega ^2$ |
The energy required for an object to change its angular velocity from $\omega_1$ to $\omega_2$ can be calculated using the definition
$ \Delta W = T \Delta\theta $ |
Applying Newton's second law, this expression can be rewritten as
$\Delta W=I \alpha \Delta\theta=I\displaystyle\frac{\Delta\omega}{\Delta t}\Delta\theta$
Using the definition of angular velocity
$ \bar{\omega} \equiv\displaystyle\frac{ \Delta\theta }{ \Delta t }$ |
we get
$\Delta W=I\displaystyle\frac{\Delta\omega}{\Delta t}\Delta\theta=I \omega \Delta\omega$
The difference in angular velocities is
$\Delta\omega=\omega_2-\omega_1$
On the other hand, angular velocity itself can be approximated with the average angular velocity
$\omega=\displaystyle\frac{\omega_1+\omega_2}{2}$
Using both expressions, we obtain the equation
$\Delta W=I \omega \Delta \omega=I(\omega_2-\omega_1)\displaystyle\frac{(\omega_1+\omega_2)}{2}=\displaystyle\frac{I}{2}(\omega_2^2-\omega_1^2)$
Thus, the change in energy is given by
$\Delta W=\displaystyle\frac{I}{2}\omega_2^2-\displaystyle\frac{I}{2}\omega_1^2$
This allows us to define kinetic energy as
$ K_r =\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} I \omega ^2$ |
