Work, Energy and Power for Rotating Body.
(1) Work : If the body is initially at rest and angular displacement is dq due to torque then work done on the body.
W = òt dq [Analogue to work in translatory motion W = ò F dx ]
(2) Kinetic energy : The energy, which a body has by virtue of its rotational motion is called rotational kinetic energy. A body rotating about a fixed axis possesses kinetic energy because its constituent particles are in motion, even though the body as a whole remains in place.
- Power : Rate of change of kinetic energy is defined as power

Slipping, Spinning and Rolling.
[Analogue to power in translatory motion

(1) Slipping : When the body slides on a surface without rotation then its motion is called slipping motion.
In this condition friction between the body and surface F = 0 .
Body possess only translatory kinetic energy KT
= 1 mv 2 .

Example : Motion of a ball on a frictionless surface.
(2) Spinning : When the body rotates in such a manner that its axis of rotation does not move then its motion is called spinning motion.
In this condition axis of rotation of a body is fixed. Example : Motion of blades of a fan.
In spinning, body possess only rotatory kinetic energy

(3) Rolling : If in case of rotational motion of a body about a fixed axis, the axis of rotation also moves, the motion is called combined translatory and rotatory.

(ii) Motion of football rolling on a surface.
In this condition friction between the body and surface F ¹ 0 .
Body possesses both translational and rotational kinetic energy. Net kinetic energy = (Translatory + Rotatory) kinetic energy.

Rolling Without Slipping.
In case of combined translatory and rotatory motion if the object rolls across a surface in such a way that there is no relative motion of object and surface at the point of contact, the motion is called rolling without slipping.
Friction is responsible for this type of motion but work done or dissipation of energy against friction is zero as there is no relative motion between body and surface at the point of contact.
Rolling motion of a body may be treated as a pure rotation about an axis through point of contact with same angular velocity w.
