Rotational KE and Moment of inertia

Simple questions about moment of inertia

• The kinetic energy of a rotating object
• Some examples of simple moments of inertia
• Could we use the Earth's spin to power the US?
• Computing the moment of inertia of an extended body
• A table with moments of inertia (PDF) (If the PDF version doesn't look good, try a copy in PNG format )
• Using a flywheel to power a car
• What if the density varies?
