Its stated that total energy of an isolated system is given by
E = [itex]\frac{1}{2}[/itex]m[itex]v^{2}[/itex] + [itex]\frac{1}{2}[/itex]I[itex]ω^{2}[/itex] + mgh.
Whats the correct form when the velocity is along 2 axis, that is, along x and y-axis like v = (2, 1)?
Should the resultant be taken or just add the kinetic energies along each axis?
I've been searching awhile but can't find an accurate answer.
thanks in advance.
