Kinetic energy in rotating objects.

[Duely Cack]

1. A 75-g phonograph album of 30-cm diameter spins at 33.3 rpm. What is its kinetic energy?



2. 1/2mv²



3. well i think that kinetic energy is 1/2mv² so is it like that but instead of v you put in the 33.3 rpm. like 1/2(75)(33.3)² maybe?

$$K_e = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$$

You have to use omega as radians per second, mass has to be in kilograms.
