    Graduate Does Spin have rotational kinetic energy?

    I have two questions regarding rotational kinetic energy. I know that rotational kinetic energy is defined as: KE = ½ I Ω^2 Where KE is the rotational kinetic energy [in units of: joules; kg*m^2/s^2], I is the Moment of inertial [in units of: kg* m^2], and Ω is angular velocity [in units...

    Graduate Does Spin Have Rotational Kinetic Energy?

    Folks, Please note this is not a homework question! This is true curiosity. I have two questions regarding rotational kinetic energy. I know that rotational kinetic energy is defined as: KE = ½ I Ω^2 Where KE is the rotational kinetic energy [in units of: joules; kg*m^2/s^2], I is...
