Summary: Work and Rotational Kinetic Energy Work done by torque on a rotating body can be calculated using W = τθ, where τ is the torque and θ is the angular displacement. The work-energy theorem for rotation states that the change in rotational kinetic energy (ΔK) equals the work done, ΔK = ½ Iω²_f - ½ Iω²_i, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is angular velocity. This relationship allows us to calculate the kinetic energy of rotating bodies using torque and angular motion. 📢 Watch the Full PLAYLIST Here: ▶    • Rotational Dynamics: Rotation, Torque, and...
