Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers rotational kinetic energy, including the equation ( $1/2 * I * ω^2$ ), its relationship to translational kinetic energy, and calculating the total kinetic energy of systems. It also discusses the scalar nature of rotational energy, connections to work-energy theorem and conservation of energy, and common mistakes to avoid. Finally, it provides practice questions and exam tips.
