PRACTICE / Rotational kinetic energy

Work done while turning

A constant net torque of 3 N·m turns a rotor through 4 radians from rest.

Find its final rotational kinetic energy.

Organize the givens & assumptions
  • τ = 3 N·m
  • Δθ = 4 rad
  • initial K = 0

Rigid rotor about a fixed axis; constant net torque aligned with rotation; begins at rest.
