Correct Answer - Option 2 : [M1L2T-2]

The correct answer is option 2) i.e. [M1L2T-2]

CONCEPT:

  • Rotational kinetic energy: Rotational kinetic energy is due to the motion of an object's rotation.

For a given fixed axis of rotation, the rotational kinetic energy is given by:

 \(KE = \frac{1}{2} Iω^2\)

Where I is the moment of inertia, ω is the angular velocity.

EXPLANATION:

Rotational kinetic energy\(KE = \frac{1}{2} Iω^2\)

  • The SI unit of angular velocity ω is rad/s.
    • Radian is a dimensionless quantity.
    • Hence, the base unit of ω is s-1.
    • Thus, its dimension is [T-1].
  • Moment of inertia, I = Mr2 where M is the mass and r is the radius.
    • Thus, its dimension is [M1L2T0].
  • Therefore, the dimensions of rotational kinetic energy = [M1L2T0] × [T-1]2 = [M1L2T-2]
