Question

Part GNow, using the results of Part F, find the total kinetic energy K of the system. Remember that both particles rotate about the y axis.

Express your answer in terms of m, ω, and r.

Answer 1

K = (11*m*(ω*r)^2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Not surprisingly, the formulas K = (1/2)*I*ω^2 and K = (1/2)*m*v^2 give the same result. They should, of course, since the rotational kinetic energy of a system of particles is simply the sum of the kinetic energies of the individual particles making up the system.
