Problem

A uniform thin rod of mass

2.0\,\text{kg}

and length

0.60\,\text{m}

has a moment of inertia of

0.060\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^2

about an axis through its center perpendicular to its length. While the rod’s center of mass moves in a straight line at

1.5\,\text{m/s}

, the rod simultaneously spins about that axis at

4.0\,\text{rad/s}

. Calculate the rod’s total kinetic energy.
