Question

A baseball pitcher throws the ball in a motion where there is rotation of the forearm about the elbow joint as well as other movements.

Randomized Variables =

0.475 kg • m2
v = 20.4 m/s
d = 0.43 m

a. If the linear velocity of the ball relative to the elbow joint is 20.4 m/s at a distance of 0.43 m from the joint and the moment of inertia of the forearm is 0.475 kg · m2, what is the rotational kinetic energy of the forearm in J?
