Hmm..I too am now wondering the same.izelkay said:Where'd that 6.75 J come from?
Still a bit low. I get 45.56+18.23=63.79joel amos said:Hmm..I too am now wondering the same.
Is this better:
KE = 45.453 J + 18.225 J
KE = 63.69 J

Rotational kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its rotation around an axis.
The formula for calculating rotational kinetic energy is KE = (1/2)Iω^2, where KE is kinetic energy, I is the moment of inertia, and ω is the angular velocity.
The rotational kinetic energy of a sphere on a ramp is affected by the mass of the sphere, its radius, the angle of the ramp, and the speed at which it is rolling.
Rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy are both forms of kinetic energy and are interrelated. As the rotational kinetic energy of a sphere increases, so does its translational kinetic energy, and vice versa.
Yes, rotational kinetic energy can be converted into other forms of energy such as heat or potential energy. This is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
