Question

Which type of energies are involved when objects rotate?

Answer 1

Thanks for asking the question.
Well there may be 2 types of energies involved in rotation.
1.Kinetic Energy.
2.Potential Energy
Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body in motion. For example, Earth in rotation possesses some kinetic energy as it is moving round the Sun.
Potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by a body in respect to position. Once again we take the example of Earth, Earth is rotating and have some height.
However, this spinning adds a new mechanical energy called rotational kinetic energy.
Hope it helps.
