From linear kinetic energy to rotational kinetic energy

From linear kinetic energy to rotational kinetic energy

Linear kinetic energy uses Ek=12mv2E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2Ek​=21​mv2. When an object spins about an axis, every particle in it is moving, so the whole object has kinetic energy as well.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Physics Rotational kinetic energy (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
