Hi,
It sometimes is convenient to split the total kinetic energy of a body into the sum of the body's center-of-mass translational kinetic energy and the energy of rotation around the center of mass (rotational energy):
where:
- Ek is the total kinetic energy
- Et is the translational kinetic energy
- Er is the rotational energy or angular kinetic energy in the rest frame
=.5mω2D2 + .5I(ω')2
where, I = moment of inertia
