Pure rotational motion and its kinetic energy
Question

A thin disc rotates about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with a constant angular velocity ' ω' I is the moment of inertia of that disc and 'L' is its angular momentum about the given axis. Then rotational kinetic energy of the disc 'E' is

A) E \large \propto L2 B)  E \large \propto L-2 C) E \large \propto l D)E \large \propto l-1

Easy
Solution

(KE)r = 1/2 IW2 = 1/2 ( (IW)2 / I )

⇒ (KE)r = L2 / 2I

.: E = 1/2 IW2 and E = L2 / 2I

Also , L = I W

Since W is constant ,

E α i and L α I only (c) is correct.
