What is the formula for kinetic energy of rotating rigid body?
The kinetic energy of the whole body is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy of all the particles present in the body. A rotating rigid body has kinetic energy because all atoms in the object are in motion.
The formula for kinetic energy of a rotating rigid body is given as,
Kinetic Energy (K.E.) = 1 /2 ( Moment of inertia (I) × (angular velocity)2)
where ω = angular velocity
