Consider the diatomic molecule oxygen O2 which is rotating in the xy plane about the z axis passing through its center, perpendicular to its length.
Consider the diatomic molecule oxygen O2 which is rotating in the
xy plane about the z axis passing through its center, perpendicular to its length. The mass of each oxygen atom is 2.66 × 10−26 kg, and at room temperature, the average separation distance between the two oxygen atoms is 2.68 × 10−10 m (treat the atoms as point masses).
If the angular speed of the molecule about the z axis is 3.68 × 1012 rad/s, what is its rotational kinetic energy? Answer in units of J.
