Show that the kinetic energy of an object rotating about a fixed axis with angular momentum L = Iw can be written as K = L^2 / 2I

L = angular momentum
I = moment of inertia
w = (omega) = angular velocity

I'm not sure if I should approach this problem using dimensional analysis or with some other means

I emphasize that the kinetic energy doesn't need to be calculated. I am essentially asking for the relationship betweenthe two expressions.

How can you calculate the kinetic energy of any object? If you need mass and velocity, how can you calculate those from the information you are given?
